Thank you for posting that! Yes, it was from a later issue. Makes you wonder how original the cars were when they were already 12-13 years old. I spoke to one guy that was an original owner of a 1970 LS6 Chevelle, and within the first 5 years, it had the engine replaced under warranty, was repainted by the dealer due to a crash, and had the wheels swapped out for some Cragars. Yet he said that very car is labeled as "all original, original paint, original engine" today.
