It kills me, some guy is willing to bid $34,900 on a car with the completely wrong stripe, but he is unwilling to just go ahead and pony up the additional $4,000 to BIN. SMH.

Far too much wrong with that car to be in that price range, claiming to be a high end restoration. Not only is the wrong stripe there, none of the correct stripes are there. Obviously too, the wing shouldn't be there, and the trunk is missing the stainless trim at the bottom. Wheels are wrong color. Dome light lens is missing. And that's just a once over. Good sign there's more.

Should this car have a 344 on trim tag? It does not, Lansing car.

336 is ok on a 68-69. Thats well documented. The car started life as a Cutlass A body. Thats the way Fisher saw it and thats all they cared about. Now the vin must be 344 to be a 442 period.

Maybe they were fans of the CHICAGO "Stay the Night" video?

oops, I didn't even look at the bidders. Didn't expect the bid would start just 4k below the BIN price. Thanks for the correction.

Well I'd say it looks about spot on....

What really is impressive is the "BLUR PRINTED" engine.
