This is absolutely true 99% of the time...

I disagree. Even people that own their cars for 50 years take care of them. No mice, dogs or racoons in here. Ha!

There you go, A few gallons of bondo and enough china body panels to make that American car technically a Foreign car.:haha:

I wonder if they found a build sheet in it

Woj 02-26-2020 10:37 AM
I see the car has had quite a few components removed in the photos, I hope the owner is documenting what he has removed (component dates, numbers and markings). The finish on the car looks pretty good at this point. Hopefully the trim that has been removed will be replaced with GM parts. It would be a shame if any repop trim went back on. Nice looking car.

Phil Woj

PS. Very doubtful there is a build sheet, but there is always a chance. There is a good likelihood of a computer card or two in the upholstery.

IMO - all cars rest on 3 legs:

- factory/dealer paperwork

- ownership history with contact info

-certification of options and originality (including body & drive train stampings)

the more, the better!!
