Gold paint is clearly visible on the edges of the VIN tag, so the original paint claim in the auction appears to be bogus. Bumble bee stripe is not painted correctly either. And the grill blackout is missing around the outer perimeter isn't it? Is the tape line on the rear panel blackout correct for a LOS car?

That engine stamp looks pretty bad to me. Both the Tonawanda stamp and the assembly plant stamp. Looks like the work of a couple Northern Tool die sets.

Also has the wrong intake. And should not have engine lift hooks. And dipstick and tube are the long replacement set from the 80's.

Pretty car, but does not seem to be all it is being claimed to be.

Yeah, the vin stamp on the block looks like a kindergartner did it with dull stamps.
Thrown together with little thought for quality or accuracy and plenty of aftermarket parts. Even the left window crank flew off after they closed the open door pics. Lots of crap in the trunk, crimp butt connectors, wires laying on the left floor instead of hung and trunk lock is a repro. The blade is way too long and the filler tube guard is missing.
The recovered seats are very poorly assembled too. No way should there be a huge gap to the metal back panel like they have.
But then it IS in Vegas. Looks like a poor gamble to me.

The more I look at these pictures, the more I see....

Agree that the deck stamp looks pretty hastily done, but I don't have any comparable dates to examine.
