-----EZ,,,He never said it was anything other than what it is! Hes allowed to pose a question (that he already pretty much knows the answer to). He definetly never said anywhere that the car was original. I know he made some statements about it being "very" close, but I see nothing else. Oh,,,and we all know that they are only original once. Believe me that "only original once" statement has had a huge amount of discussion here in the past. I dont know this guy, but Im willing to bet that you wouldnt call him either a clown or a fool to his face......Bill S

Sorry Bill, I must hit a nerve! And I'm talking about the eBay guy, not the people who posted here. And I would in a second call me a fool to his face, actually more then likely not as PC though. I also called out another builder and respected "seller" that just happen to be stringing on a car that wasn't "exactly" what he was claiming, read RESRAMPED engine.

The way I see it, this "FOOL" is trying to pass over the fact that this is a car with an ZL-1 engine that he believes is the correct # engine for ZL-1 #62. YES it's a beautiful car, and looks stunning, but it is what it is, a '69 Camaro (possibly Z-28) that has had an engine swap. Now after his "glossing over" of the info. someone less knowledgeable might get coerced into buying it not really understanding what it is.

----Nope,,,EZ. No worries...No bad at all. I will add that, although I am no "JM" fan, he did take a look at the stamp and apparently liked it.
----Its a difference of opinion, of course but I dont see "someone less knowledgeable" being coerced into anything. Buyers need to ask for help if they want something that they cannot competently evaluate themselves. If someone has too big an ego to ask for help they just may deserve what they get, although I dont wish that on anybody.
----Another difference of opinion, I guess, but I didnt view his add as being a complete "gloss over". Everybody wants to put thier car in the best light they can. Bunches of guys are hugely deceitful in thier adds, but while he was upbeat about the car, as far as I can see he left none of the bad out. He just put it in as posative a way as he could. You wouldnt do the same??? Thats the way I took the add. Sorry you didnt see it the same way, but no harm either way as far as I am concerned.....Bill S
