Good observations Rick. Also:

It looks that, at least, the passenger rear quarter panel was replaced or repaired by just eyeballing it. I'm not nitpicking the car...it's gorgeous. But it's a 2nd gen specific fit issue that I notice in the fit of the lower rear quarters.

In many cases they are 'bowed out' farther than stock when repaired incorrectly.

Also, Norwood,OH built cars should have red oxide primer on the floor panels/undercarriage VS the black that this one has.

This car is also equipped w/ the somewhat rare VF3 bumper option (note the rubber trim on the bumpers) which would also include the rear bumper "fangs". These "fangs" were exclusive to the VF3 and Z-28's. The fangs are missing from this car but the rear bumper appears to have the holes in the coorect place for their mounting.

These are just quick observations...I'm sure more will be added. This would be a fun driver and looks to be a good candidate for a no. matching resto.
