Caveat Emptor...ad is missing 'clone'

124679N653695

That VIN was final assembled on or about June 9. 01A body tag would have been issued about 23 weeks prior. Ace Hardware rivets, wrong colors.

From the ad:
"The SS/RS 396 - 375 HP Camaro Convertible is one of todays premier collectibles."

True-when they are real.

I thought there for a minute it was another 10-10 car, flags waved, then I saw the very pristine, crisp new tag stating it was Garnet Red. For a complete "rotisserie restoration", they missed the date, tag, and color on this one. Love the rivets, almost as good as the #10 sheet metal screws on a local "X77" a couple of years back.

I don't mind the quality of the work and the finished product, but sheeese. Do the homework - pay attention to details.

Regards,
Steve

Bob
It is the fender not following the header line and taking a dive. More evident on left fenders. I've had to correct this on numerous jobs even when using NOS fenders
. Repro fenders are even worse. So many cars out there have droop that the majority must think it is correct, which it is not.

Re-posted with 'after' pics. Same car, same repro tag.

From the ad:

"This particular example is restored to the highest possible standards and is valued accordingly."

Incorrect interior, aftermarket gauges, aluminum radiator...
