Turquoise '69 L78

I see some major panel fit issues that lead me to believe this car was in a front end accident. This may be a "pig with lipstick."

Ad said it scored 997 out of 1,000. Maybe it was restored how gm built it. Fit and finish wasn't perfect in 1969 on some cars

True - but it wasn't THAT bad. I seriously doubt Chevy would have let a car like that leave the factory. Look closely at the 2nd photo how the hood doesn't line up with the header panel.

BTW - you can say anything you want in an ad. Doesn't make it a fact.

Yes...



I was sent the trim tag and pad vin stamp as well as the vin tag. The tags are legit. The vin stamp seems reasonable at this point but I am not were I can compare to others. I will leave it to someone else to post the info as I was not given nor did I ask if I could post the pics.

My bad... Looked like someone had used regular sheet metal screws. Bad assumption that I based on the rest of the pic.
