.......And, I could pick this one apart, too. I wouldn't pay 70 grand for a black rotisserie car with a paint job with that many waves in the body. Why didn't they panel sand the fenders and doors for a flat finish? That's expected in any good paint job these days.
Hood and fender doesn't fit to the grill. Description says it has a 396, but the emblems say 427.
I'll bet it has more problems - in addition to the vinyl top.

Phew! Just saved myself a boatload of money! (The model is cute though!)

It's nice but looks like a 3.0 CSI (not a bad thing) or a Mercedes Limo. It ain't the 65/66.

It's nice, but I wouldn't cough up that kinda scratch for it.

LOL, from the ad:

Under the hood it's powered by a fresh built '69 Model 396 that has a Competition Thumper Cam along with new rings, bearings, and lifters. It's badged up as 427 because it's sporting a set of '67 model 427 GM Aluminum Heads.


So it's the HEADS that make all the difference in displacement ...... huh.
