Default Re: 68 Grand Prix--yay or nay?

1st of all, I think it is an awesome car, very nice, would love to own it even though I too, am not a fan of red cars (well said above).

but I also agree with the others about the "puffery"

It simply reads bad and raises doubt and detracts from how nice the car is on its own merits

Case in point is the other car listed by the same seller:

"Chevrolet : Impala 1966 Chevrolet Impala SS 396 4 Speed runs Like a SS 427 "

In the description it says : "It runs and sounds nasty with the feel of a 427-425 hp engine!!"

The GP is not an HO and the SS 396 is not an SS 427 or an L72 solid lifter car, the descriptions would read better if the "fishing lures" were left out IMHO
