Upside: flashy car, seems to be decently done. Nicely optioned, the power top/rear defogger combo is super rare.

Downside: technically incorrect-SS hood does not belong there, should not have rear antenna with spoilers, 15" wheels also incorrect. Whats up with the AWD ride height and lousy dash pad fit? 10 bolt axle doesn't help it. Also there was no 275/327 engine in '69.

Unknowns: trans type, quality of workmanship, are colors OE?

In conclusion: neither fish nor fowl. Pay accordingly.

Is it my eyes or is that the incorrect silvery metallic Rallye Green paint that's been going around?

Gold anodized brake dist block??, Wrong mast cyl, power brakes probably added. Looks like an auto trans radiator,
seat hinge covers should be white. Sits like a 4x4.

Thanks all! I spotted the dash and the subaru ride ht. Engine info etc. was helpful.
My advice to him will be to walk away.

Thanks as always.

Yep, those are aftermarket PDB conversion pieces.

Although not a perfect 100% correct car, it's better than a lot of what you see out there for sale. Good looking car.

The 327 was 210 HP in 1969, as I recall...
