It has the right letter in the VIN (H) for the HP 273 but who really knows beyond that . There is alot that is not correct on this car , motor , hood emblems , 3rd member ,4-speed , .... I don't really care about all that , I'm more of a gear head . The guy was super fussy about everything in his shop ( model airplanes , gokarts , guns ) that I just got a good feeling about the deal , he says the motor really goes like a bat out of hell , I look forward to putting it to the test .:smile:
