They look like magnum 500 wheels. Aftermarket and supplied to some manufacturers and available from factory as original. Never thought this was the case with pontiac though

I think my precious big blocks, which I store outside in a cage, are going to weigh alittle more than the propane tanks or whatever it was that were originally stored in that there cage.

No sense storing the cage inside; there's always a tool 2ft away capable of cutting that cage open in under a minute inside the garage.

I don't see any way that cage will support an engine block, but that guy is smart enough to know that if a part is Mopar, you can add a zero.

My old neighbor claimed that they wanted $2,000 for a re-pop '70 Roadrunner grille. A re-pop!

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.
