Technically speaking- the frame was off in 1969…right before they put it on.

Hey, anyone can make a frame-off look pretty and overrestored. It takes a LOT of work to really duplicate the shoddy factory workmanship.

Gotta love the incorrectly installed valve covers, and the "restoration" using an aftermarket intake. Using the rear sway bar as a jacking point says a lot about the care used in the "restoration"...

With all the incorrect "numbers matching" ads, I find it hilarious that this seller includes this info that 1) isn't required to prove the car is numbers matching and 2) isn't even correct.

Maybe it was a frame off. Just didn't do anything to it while it was off.

It does have two things going for it though... Power antenna is a rare option I believe and the fact that it was built in Canada. Not worth $32k though...
