Looks very good until you get into the details. I too do not remember seeing it at the PSN. FWIW and without sounding too much like a nut...A few things I see include:

8 track is not listed on the invoice
Clock knob is later model and/or OTC replacement
Steering wheel hub appears to have smooth finish but should be krinkle
Wiring underhood has some afterkmarket looking covering ???
Engine color appears incorrect
Black anodizing on steering wheel spokes shows major fading...have not seen that even on Texas cars
AC piping at evaporator box has been painted or ???
Lots of aftermarket hose clamps in strange places
Wrong tips on exhaust
Not sure on this one but was space saver spare an option in 1970? Invoice does not show it...
master cylinder and cap do not look correct...maybe it was a 70 thing
Lug nuts

Sorry I could not help myself. Bottom line: I would not mind owning it. She is a looker.

Default Laser straight?

Almost looks like the marker lamp opening has been worked like you have to do with the repro quarter skins.

And I don't think the guy who put the Trans Am decals on the fenders got the placement right.

The "comfortweave" looks to be some kind of simulated (or real?) snakeskin vinyl. Notice how the lines look kind of wavy.

Is my eyesight going or is there no seam between the tail panel and the lower quarters??

I am not trying to pile on too heavy because it is a pretty decent car, but seems fully priced at the $33k that it is currently bid up to....

Considering his glowing description of the car, I don't think we're piling on at all . . .

I think that I can make out the tail panel / quarter panel seam on the driver's side, but maybe not on the passenger side. Pics are kinda dark, though.

Agree Lloyd. He states he has a "...completely restored example ready to show." Not sure which show he is referring but if it showed up for judging at a POCI show...

She is a beauty from a distance. I wish the seller and the future buyer well.
