They could have painted the stripes on the trunk correctly also. Alot of time was put into this car but NO research. If you want to claim to have a car that is a "990 point show car", do your homework first.

Apparently you guys didn't get the memo..... new judging scale (at least at the event he went to). The ad should read "990 out of <font color="orange">2000 </font> "!

Mark,

Yes the crayons make the differance..lol they look pretty to the guys that buy for a piece of clean art..lol

I honestly bet you could take the same car restored by the same guy do one up with all the markings and fancy stuff then take the same car and get rid of the markings it would do less at a sale like Barrett.. To the guy int he know probably NOT but to the guy buying bragging rights 100%.

As for this car being 990 points I bet to the average car guy theyd think its the best in the world. heck 5 years ago I probably would have thought that..lol

------For education purposes only could someone tell me why the "door-latches" were commented on??? I can barely see them in the pics.......Bill S

The latch assembly and striker are installed prior to painting, and therefore should be body color.

-----Steve, Thanks for the quick comeback! I was thinking door-handles for some reason........Bill S

I would like to qualify what I stated regarding the painted latches and strikers. The Norwood built camaros were painted (which this car is), however I believe LA built camaros were not.
Lynn:
Not sure about the POP (I would need some better pictures), but the guy in Canada selling fake documents on ebay know how to age W/S and Buildsheets and POP's, which now makes me skeptical when I see them.

It would not surprise me if the door handles were also the incorrect (NOS) version.

Regarding painted door latches.....I'm in the process of replacing a reskinned door with a good Original on my 69. I had the original, media blasted after removing ALL the guts. What would the professional restorers apply to the zinc plated latch assembly in the way of grease/cosmoline to replicate what the factory evidently did.
On any of the Original paint cars, you can almost always see where paint has been worn/washed away as it was over the factory coating of ????????
Any body care to share there thoughts ???????
