original color all of you 72 elkhart green guys should email him a picture of your car. Big differance compared to whatever original 72 green color he is advertizing. Maybee it will be a 1 of 1 car at BJ. A donnybrook green late 72 rare side vent car with rare t-tops and removable rear window and rare TH400 transmission with air!

I just sent the guy an email on the aircraft parts. I'm thinking the local FAA office may have some interest. That box of junk looks very suspect.

Looks like it's just the rubber portion of the molded carpet where it turns up under the accelerator pedal. I see what you mean though with the way the light is reflecting off of it.

Any-one that buys a car sight-unseen deserves what they get. I can't believe morons have $20k to spend on a 72 vette. later
