Gold paint is clearly visible on the edges of the VIN tag, so the original paint claim in the auction appears to be bogus. Bumble bee stripe is not painted correctly either. And the grill blackout is missing around the outer perimeter isn't it? Is the tape line on the rear panel blackout correct for a LOS car?

That engine stamp looks pretty bad to me. Both the Tonawanda stamp and the assembly plant stamp. Looks like the work of a couple Northern Tool die sets.

Also has the wrong intake. And should not have engine lift hooks. And dipstick and tube are the long replacement set from the 80's.

Pretty car, but does not seem to be all it is being claimed to be.
