My point is that he's "cloning" something that never existed in the first place - like the '68 Judges. Also - he's putting way too much value on a wing and some stickers. I saw this a lot when I was car shopping several years ago. One could take a $20,000 (at the time) Chevelle, put some "Yenko" stickers down the sides, and it's all of a sudden for sale for $35,000.

I have no idea how accurate this Pontiac is, but it sounds rare. Expensive as hell, and no pictures.
Photos here, but only 2 of them..... https://bow-nh.americanlisted.com/ad/gallery/28924945/

Sweet looking convertible. Says no air conditioning. I don't believe they even had ac back then.

Both of those Catalinas are really pretty nice projects. I like the condition of the blue hardtop especially.

So, if I read this correctly, he is admitting that he stole all the parts except the nose cone

I have never seen a Taxi with front bucket seats & a console? I actually like most of the 4-door 73-75 GA's, but if I owned one it would have to be a 73/74 Four-speed car.

That repaint isn't a good color for that car IMO, and its priced high for the condition of the almost unobtainable 4-door interior parts.

I hate it when they do a color change and leave the doorjambs in their original hue.

389 Tripower??? How do you ask $8000 for a car and guess at what engine is in it. That could be a valuable Chevy 427 Tripower.

That's definitely not a 389. Chevy for certain. Looks like it could be a 67 Corvette engine due to the air cleaner. But that's just a guess.

Maybe he means it came originally with a tri-power. Or maybe he's just stupid.
