Very interesting ... Look at those front fender cross flags and their bizzare incorrect mounting location. How often does that happen ? I looked at this same car in Topeka, Kansas maybe 5 years ago when it was for sale. It doesn't look too bad in the photos but I remember the rear exhaust panel and taiilamp panel having a severely poor fit (like it had been hit and poorly rigged) and some seriously drippy paint. But it's those fender emblems that still really haunt me ....

ebay feedback on car sellers usually doesnt mean anything unless they are dealers.

All the people selling personal cars are often selling a car for the first time, and their 100% feedback comes from selling old CDs and model airplanes.

It's clear from the photos that the car has had a replacement front clip, explaining why the fender emblems are so far from their correct location.

He has re-listed the car with a new VIN so buyer's beware.

Good eye on the front fender emblems. I never noticed. When I buy another I need all the help I can get. Have a 80, second Vette. I like it but not as much as the first , 67 coupe.
