-------I was going down thru the pics and got to the shots of the floorboards. Did you guys notice where he put the rear jack pads??? They appear to be right on top of the fuel lines and certainly not where they should be. If nothing else, this gives me a pretty clear idea of the intelligence of whoever put it on the lift, if not the owner.........Bill S

That's nothing a few MORE cans of black spray paint can't fix.

There's a lot of funky stuff wrong with this car.

Console (WTF?)
Shifter (location?)
Bucket seats (68 style)
Steering wheel (71+ style)
Rear tail panel (red SS badge)
No gauge package, but it's on the GM document
Color (white or blue?)
Rear side marker location (too far forward)
Newer style power steering pump

.... probably more.

Sorry to be a critic, but the ad promises more than the car seems to offer.

Yeah, I hate to chime in on this kind of talk but its a dealers car not an enthusiasts so what the heck. The car looks like he waxed it with a hammer. Is that JC Whitney side body molding? I thought George Forman gave up working on exhaust systems!! Well at least we know where the car was when the under side was painted, it matches the overspray on the lift.
Oh and if this is any indication, check the underside of his other auction.

Look at the engine oil pan.....how many drain plugs do you need in your oil pan? Obviously no expense was spared on this car.

Looks like he took the car to "Jiffy Lube" and the "New Guy"
wasted no time in stripping out the drain plug...and in went the self tapper.

How about that super rare HEI ignition,or the nut and bolt under the door jamb switch.Whats that for so the door doesn't close to far? Geniuses I say. Don't know about you but it scares the daylights out of me.
