I don't like the VIN scribbled on the hood, but I do admit it looks cool just like it is. Also not sure if it's 100% done with the engine and interior and no (Ram Air) air cleaner pics, so agree it's high, tho it is a rust free CA black/yellow plate car.

I think the black plates are reissues. The front end pic shows a blue plate that appears to have been issued from the mid 70's. Also has a plate frame from Silveria Pontiac in Healdsburg CA. Car was probably traded in/sold from there in the mid 70's.

I like original paint cars... but thats a little too rough for me.
