I stopped watching that show several months ago - I'm glad to see this truck doesn't have their more common calling cards; like clear coat over the rust or air ride.

I never saw that episode, but I was surprised how well that truck looked. I looked and its from season 1, no wonder it looks normal

they made another 40s Chevy that turned out really nice, but it was flat black with chrome steel wheels and white walls.

Nope, not if there's no rust.

BTW.... "this car is all original except paint, top, and rims.".... then it ain't all original at all.

Possible VIN alteration? I don't think anyone would change rear quarters to fit Camaro taillights.

no joke, considering the 80s Firebirds were hands down MUCH better looking than their camaro cousins

It's a later '80's Camaro. I'm betting VIN change, too. Changing an '85 Firebird into an '87 Camaro is WAY more time/energy/money than it's worth. It's not like '87 Camaros are rare.

Why he would put in a '65 327 is puzzling me.

Photo shopped....Or they dumped a puddle of waste oil in front of the tire.

I was thinking they did a "neutral slam".

With the 2.5 Iron Duke, all that would accomplish would be a little tire chirp.

If he doesn't know it's a Pontiac, I'm pretty sure he doesn't know displacement.... 4bbl... Could be a 400.

Good point.
Especially since it's been in "multiple vehicles".
It'd be worth de-coding by someone living in the vicinity.
