Default Re: L78 Camaro ...Ebay

Thanks Canadian SS. I saw the pics that you added, but none show the right side of the tag. It's obvious to everyone that the tag has been removed at some time.
So the question is why? Being a Canadian car, my first thought was rust and the car was sand blasted. However, you show shots of the floors being rust free with the original red primer still on them...so I don't think that this particular body was blasted. Are there any signs of the original color still on the body anywhere?

Then the next thought is why is a Canadian car so clean? So one obviously thinks rebody...and maybe that explains why the tag was replaced??? But it was a BC delivered car, so it could be that clean if it stayed there for most of its life??? Do you know much about the history of the car?

And what about the misalignment of the stampings on the trim tag? I've seen a line or two misaligned by one character, but never anything like yours??? So one thinks repoped tag??? The only way to confirm that it isn't repopped is to compare it to a known original (that I now have), but the shots you have posted do not show enough of the tag blank to make a clear comparison. I'm sure a number of us that are interested in the car and need this info to proceed and make a serious attempt at buying the car. It might be worth your while to take some better photos before the auction ends.

It's a neat car and needs to have this issue cleared up to bring top dollar, but that's your call.

Good luck.
