So here's my current list of why the dealer, as an expert, should have known:
- Car has a forged factory trim tag falsely indicating its original status as an X22 - RS/SS 396 car - Car appears to have a TH350 transmission. Advertisement for car indicated that it has a TH400, as all 396 cars would have - Car is the incorrect washer pump; all real RS cars had a specific pump with provisions for headlight washers - All real RS cars have headlight washers. From the photos, these appear to be missing - All real 396 cars had a blacked-out rear tailpan; this car's was body color until the dealer repainted it black - All real 396/325hp cars would have a return vent line to the fuel tank, but it is absent on this car - Car may have the backup lights in the wrong location for a real RS, though its inconclusive from the photos - Car has the wrong tachometer; all 396/325hp cars had a tach with a higher redline - Car has no clock; all factory console-gauge cars with a tach should have a center clock in the dash - Car appears to have an incorrect 1968 style intake manifold - Car has a 1970 or later alternator bracket - Car has the incorrect power steering pump for an original 396 car - Car has an incorrect steering wheel, likely from a Corvette or full-size GM car Can anyone add to the list? |
