- wrong valve cover vent tube
- alternator bracket looks funky, but may be right for non PS car?
- black painted headlight bezels
- wonky endura gap at the front fender
- missing 1/4 trim, missing trunk emblem, fat door gaps, bent front valance, the GTO badge in different locations on the left and right fenders, and the way the side marker light sits in the 1/4 indicate some potentially sketchy bodywork under that paint
- painted dash bezel vs. chromed
- wrong lug nuts, trim rings and RII color
- unpainted RII spare
- washer container mounted on the driver's side fender
- hacked out dash for aftermarket stereo
- spray bombed underhood with trash and fish eyes in the paint
- different brand front and back seat covers (look at the depth of the grooves)
- wrong brake/clutch/parking brake pedal pads + pedals too high
- wrong headlight knob

Among other things...

I think this was hastily dolled up for a quick sale.

Yes, lots of things wrong. Some easily correctable, others a bit more labor/money intensive. Not to mention the PUI seat covers and whatever is under the sheet metal of a FL car.
