I saw a '62 700 on eBay and noted in the pic of the engine compartment that there's a decal indicating the 102 h.p. engine on the crossover intake tube between the air cleaners. I thought the decal was supposed to go on the engine shroud. I would imagine this is just a bit of restoration "creativity" but wanted to reach out for confirmation. I suspect that the restorer was not a stickler for stock since this 700 has Monza upholstery and, of course, carpet. Also, the crossed flag insignia is absent from the rear-deck lid so it probably didn't come from the factory with a 102.
