----Why is it that some restorers spend so much time and money to restore a car back to original and then leave the car 3 or 4 inches too high? I know nothing about the car except that it looks pretty and appears stock, except for the height. It wouldn't have cost any more to get the correct springs.....Bill S

Gorgeous car but don’t like the red side stripe. I would’ve left it all black.

The radials aren't doing it any favors in the looks dept. either.

Restoration issues abound...no pix of stamps or TT?? W/S is a bad fake. I'd be shocked if it's a real L78.

Window sticker fake.
Build sheet fake.
Deck stamp fake.

And even if all that stuff "looked" anywhere close to correct, the car is WAY to early to be a factory built 1967 L78 Chevelle.

Does anyone know if this car used to belong to Les Schinnerer? He had a car identical to this that I saw at a number of Super Chevy Shows back in the late '90's. He had it at Indy several times and at Martin as well. His car did have the correct ride height and red line tires. I found a couple pictures I took of it, but the windows were down in all of them so I couldn't tell if he had an ACES decal on the rear quarter window.

Someone will buy it without doing the basic research of verification
It’s unfortunate.

However, in this current market even a Faked Pretty Car will bring close to $70,000 to $75,000

It's even worse than that, Mike. Engine stamp is T0822EG. VIN sequence puts it as an October built car. Hence my use of all caps when I said "the car is WAY to early to be a factory built 1967 L78 Chevelle." :)
