The point is - it's kind of goofy to say all original panels, except for the quarter panels.

I like this guy. He says all numbers matching, except the engine. Nice.

Especially since he’s selling “for a friend,” there’s no way I’d walk into a meeting with a stranger with $25,000 in my pocket.

There's no way I'd just roll up with 25K in my pocket either but the price looks not too far out of the ball park so I'd turn up, suck air through my teeth and go away to check the true veracity of the ownership etc then if still interested, I might turn up with some friends and the cashola. Judge the circumstances if right, put maybe 4/5ths of it on the hood and they just might agree to accept it. A big pile of cash sure works in the sellers eyes.

I've done it before. Worked for me.

A big pile of cash sure works in the sellers eyes. You just have to be prepared to pick up the cash and walk if they don't agree.

Not really epic, just a rare and interesting car, Mallet converted 2005 CTS V.

My kind of car, Manual Trans, V8, fast and a sleeper. The $23,500 asking price seems reasonable to me for what you get. Even though I don't think any Mallet conversion other than the Corvette's will ever fetch the Price of other Tuner cars. My Solstice included.

Apart from the obvious, what's the big lump running lengthwise along the centre of the roof?

I think it's just a poorly done seam in the vinyl roof.

The car looks pretty clean, I wonder what he'd take for it without the wheels.

Hmmmm, maybe but I never thought anyone would put a seam down the centre of the roof. Guaranteed to leak and the rust bogey starts.

I believe that original vinyl tops on the '73 A-body cars had the seam down the middle.
