Agreed, we have seen a lot of rebuilds that are horrible and actually create issues that can be very damaging!

This car was out west a couple of years ago when I looked into it and was then owned by David L and was for sale. He was asking top dollar for it and had to be put back together so I can somewhat see why the current owner is asking what he is as he is likely not making much after all the work he obviously had done to it. The original engine was found in a 68 Camaro race car and David had to buy the Camaro to get the motor. It appeared to have been decked though you can still make out the car's 10A141831 VIN and can just barely see the CRV Tonawanda stamp. Though not a very nice stamp I believe it to be original. It has obviously been gone through from one end to the other since I saw it and appears to have had a lot of the rust repaired when compared to the photos that I have from several years ago. I do not believe this car can be considered a survivor but is pretty cool none the less.

The ad for the car would lead me to believe that there wasn't ever that kind of rust in it at one time, like what that picture above shows it did.
