The list of issues is much longer on this 101,321 genuine mile car.

From the craiglist ad:

"Never modified"

So which is it? An original tri-power car with the wrong block from the factory or an original 4bbl car with an intake and carb swap?

I'm betting on the latter.

That was my concern also. The 78X originally is a 3-spd. 4-bbl block, so how did it end up with tri power which used a 76 block code? The W makes sense as the factory stamped a W after the X to mark unused 3-spd. blocks as 4-spd.

Also, why not just post the PHS? Kind of hard to tell but the jack doesn’t look right; the 64 jack used a “T” style rack.

This is like the third time I’ve seen this vehicle listed for sale and eagle-eyed GTO guys always point out the inconsistencies in the pics versus what is listed. The listing then vanishes.
