Real car, uprated to a 4-speed at some point.   No factory T's with 4-spd.

Doug, no clutch pedal. Probably an aftermarket floor shifter for the C6.  And wasn't it more like 748 'Degas built?

look at the rocker panel area from the side exhaust forward to the front wheel opening.  That rough, unfinished look is because of the re-rolled rocker panels.  That almost guarantees this car is a genuine Talladega.

Yeah, I didn't look at the pedals.  But your assessment of the rockers is the giveaway that it's real.   Almost impossible to duplicate.    Right,  I think it's 754 made, but close enough for me.    Definitely more than 500.
