Here's my 2 cents.

If you're advertising a car as "rare" and "1 of ..." and all that and you claim to have had multiple versions of this rare car and you play up the rarity in your advertisement - they are ALL legitimate sales methods.

... HOWEVER, then you cannot be "bothered" when people ask you to verify certain things about the car. ESPECIALLY when it will take 10-15 minutes of someone's time to verify all the neccessary info. Now, if the owner is smart and telling the truth then it is in HIS BEST INTEREST to get the info that everyone seems to want and then he wouldn't have to advertise the car multiple times ... it would sell the very first time.

If I was his friend, and I was "over the car, under the car, and in the car" I would have this information already at my disposal as well.

It's a great car. It's worth real money no matter if it had a Chebby 350 in it but it would be worth MUCH LESS. With a Pontiac 400 even more. With another RAM AIR 400 even more. Date codes correct even more. The truth is the owner already knows this. No?

It bugs me when people do little things that don't add to the visuals or value of a car... and take away some originality.

Why would someone add a "GTO" logo above the heater controls ?

A June build date car did not have that on it, along with the glove box emblem.

I am not trying to nit pick, it's just that some things don't make sense.

I saw that as well but figured the dash had been replaced way back before all of us were so picky...

I have three 69's all with the GTO lucite emblem over the heater controls. Why do you say this would not be correct?

Because of the build date of the car, it is months after the emblem was discontinued.
