It's mentioned alot, but also speak with Dave at API. If there have been any changes to the engine your looking at, from what I understand the only way to know if it's a 'true' red top is the pistons!
(I may be wrong on that though)....

Get the chassis number before you even go to view the car. Post it on here and I'm sure someone will confirm what the car is/was originally.
