Thank you Charley. I advertized the car as having a numbers matching engine. i never stated that it was the original engine that came with the car. Anyone that asked me that question, was told the truth. This clown (mysterychevelle) seems to think the car is a complete fake, including the protect-o-plate. Not. He should stop the slander.

"Again, this is an original, unrestored, L78 El Camino."

I don't want to get into a big deal here but what does original and unrestored mean nowadays?

webster says original is;
1: INITIAL <the original part of the house>
2 a : not secondary, derivative, or imitative <an original composition>

restored; to bring back to or put back into a former or original state.

How can something be original if it dosent have original equipment? apparently the door has closed on such simply terms and we must now say "born with" or "unchanged" or "restamped" with every description. We are now in "day 3" of the hobby with the high tech fakes that include documents, VINs and trim tags.

This is JMHO and has nothing to do with the vehicle described above, or it's description, value or originality.

Just felt like mentioning the recent rash of double talk in car ads. Thats it.
