Kinda looks to be a bunch of lipstick and makeup on a pig? Same seller who's been flogging a collection of parts cars for the past year and applies a ton of black primer to almost all of them.

One picture looks like it has a '67 console and another picture shows a '69 console. It would take a lot of work to get all of that spray bomb paint off of everything under the hood. And what does he mean by "with RS set up"? Sorry, but not the "Ultimate '69 Camaro Z/28".

Still it's a 10 10 car with spoilers...pretty desirable although I would usually walk away from a car with fresh primer.

That guy had 18 cars on a facebook page i see. Most dark primer and no engines. Merle Dupree cars?

Yes, many of them were Merle's.

He was a con artist, yes? Re-body guy?

Merle did not have that reputation. He had money and could afford to buy real , and often rare, stuff. He was a buyer and not typically a seller, which is why his estate sale was huge.

Well, I understand he "did" a few guys over the years with re-bodies. Anyways, the car here in question needs to have its collar and cuffs checked to see if they match. Pull the heater box.

Same car was on ebay a few days ago for $28k Buy Now.
Pity the upper cowl was cut out on the passenger side.
I bought a car from Merle's stash, and agree with Jon - he had a lot of desirable cars and parts, rarely sold and mostly hoarded.
