Hmmm... Why do I not believe the mileage claim? Let's see...

- Worn front tire.
- No back story.
- No decent interior pics.
- Warped dash pad
- "307" air cleaner decal pretty beat up for < 500 miles
- Zero paperwork.

And as x77-69z28 said, 2 different plates. So obviously that part is staged...

That being said, it all could be true, but it's a pretty terrible ad for a one of a kind Camaro.

I forgot to add that the seller is a body shop specializing in restoration of 1967-73 Camaros. You'd think if these cars are your specialty, you would have an interest in them and would want to hold on to an example like this....

Isn't it more about 42 years than 500 miles?

Sure, if it were legit. The fact that there is no documentation, no back story, and a worn out decal don't suggest that the miles are original.

Isn't the spare tire a blackwall? The weights are showing on the top there.

Can anyone confirm if the 307 was built at the Tonawanda assembly plant? I was pretty sure all those motors had a &quot;Tonawanda The Number 1 Team&quot; decal on the passenger side valve cover....
