When will the rare and rusty junk piles ever stop showing up with these ridiculous prices? The thing looks like a 1979 model. So someone repainted it and now its a "Vegas" special? Really? I can see how someone would leave this poor car to die out in some grassy field. The thing is ready for the scrap pile!

I'd like to see a pic of the fender tag that shows Platinum Silver. Even the edges of the hoods and under the trunk lid appear Gold.
Well, at least he has paperwork proving that it was shipped to a Las Vegas dealer... That's rare.
By the way... He lists it as a '78 model but says it was produced 'late' in 1978...so, it's obviously a '79 model...

Not just any paperwork, historical paperwork. Also, it says "We have...." when everything else is first person singular. Who's 'we', sucka?

The 'story' of the car's origin sounds like it was written by a 14 year old.
"but then the car was repainted......Then the car.......then....."

That's actually the ultra-rare Platinum Silver PRIMER. It looks like it's always had a dull finish.

This guy's probably taken some marketing classes where they taught you how to turn snake oil into "Wonder Elixir".

Oh snap...it never even occurred to me that he was referring to the primer as 'silver' paint...lol. Now, that is funny.
What's unfortunate is that with a reasonably accurate description, without all the distractions, it would probably attract a buyer. Looks fairly solid and the convertible mod makes it relatively hard to find.

You've got a point here. Someone orders a *****-brindle brown 67 GTO with an aqua interior. That would be a 1 of 1 car, so I wonder what it would be worth?
