Default Re: If you know about this RS/SS 396 car, pls advi

So here's my current list of why the dealer, as an expert, should have known:

- Car has a forged factory trim tag falsely indicating its original status as an X22 - RS/SS 396 car
- Car appears to have a TH350 transmission. Advertisement for car indicated that it has a TH400, as all 396 cars would have
- Car is the incorrect washer pump; all real RS cars had a specific pump with provisions for headlight washers
- All real RS cars have headlight washers. From the photos, these appear to be missing
- All real 396 cars had a blacked-out rear tailpan; this car's was body color until the dealer repainted it black
- All real 396/325hp cars would have a return vent line to the fuel tank, but it is absent on this car
- Car may have the backup lights in the wrong location for a real RS, though its inconclusive from the photos
- Car has the wrong tachometer; all 396/325hp cars had a tach with a higher redline
- Car has no clock; all factory console-gauge cars with a tach should have a center clock in the dash
- Car appears to have an incorrect 1968 style intake manifold
- Car has a 1970 or later alternator bracket
- Car has the incorrect power steering pump for an original 396 car
- Car has an incorrect steering wheel, likely from a Corvette or full-size GM car

Can anyone add to the list?
