Lots going on here...even a window sticker and POP but it's not very convincing (and, the seller clearly states this is a built car with fake docs, so no misrepresentation there).

Are those headers in the trunk actually Bill Thomas headers? I don't think I have ever seen BB versions although I've seen a few Z/28 sets.

Pretty car for sure, but the trim tag special paint 'dashes' and other details would have been more convincing if the builder had done more research.

WOW, Stevie Wonder must have assembled this to get the gaps and alignments that bad. "No expense spared" Except they didn't have Graeme's body guy do his magic on the horrible fitting hood.
Although, it IS a beautiful color...:cool2:

Unless I missed it, the MCC video linked in the for sale ad does not mention the car is a clone.

Other than the aforementioned body issues, it appears the car was order with the 2" lift kit offroad package.

I guess I could put some Bill Thomas stickers on my 67 and make it one too... :thumbsdown:

What happened to this Nickey emblem?

Almost looks like a plastic emblem that got too hot and sagged in the heat....

Tag looks original, but they wiped out the paint code....
