interesting trim tag and like someone else opointed out nice job on the window sticker. Gould have been one that was sold blank on E-bay a few weeks back Would also like to know how a 30+ year old battery kept its charge all these years

No zone or dealer number on the window sticker,I believe the VIN should be a ink stamp as well.

I only looked at a few pics, but noticed that the valve covers are all scratched up, and the exhaust manifolds have been painted / coated. And why would anyone get rid of 300-mile original tires? That paint job is really glassy, for factory paint..

Cool car,

Certainly looks nice for 33 year old factory Single stage Silver.
I can't see the Fisher body number on the reproduction Window sticker is it there?

Anybody close enough to Buford,GA to take a look......At this point I have to believe that this is a restored car......Very interested in quality of workmanship and accuracy of parts.....and everyones opinions of relative value in the 69 SS L-48 marketplace....Thanks, Chuck S/Seattle

I agree the last 6 of the VIN should be INK Stamped not typed. Also didnt see the Fisher Body number on the Window sticker. What really caught my eyes was the 03D X11D80 Trim Tag

I hate it when they use weasel language like that. We're not sure if it's original or restored? We see no indication that is's a restored car? If they can't spot the evidence of restoration on the car, they are blind or stupid. As far as I know, GM did not use cast blast spray paint when they built these cars.

I live about 15 miles away. I'll take a look at it this weekend if I get a chance. Clearly the window sticker is a poor repo and the odometer was reset after restoration.
