Default 1970 lt1

Has anyone looked at this car advertised in Hemmings and Seattle Craigslist? $29000.00 and real LT1? What is with the funny paint job?

That's a modern reproduction window sticker. You can get anything you want printed on them. There's been so much aftermarket/incorrect replacement stuff added to that car, who knows what it was originally. The seller is not too clever by putting a 350 HP (L46) sticker on his supposed 370HP (LT1)car.............

"non-stock (but factory installed) side exhaust." That's a new one on me.

It looks like a 370 sticker to me.

Look at the window sticker, 370hp engine, 4 speed close ratio transmission, but economy axle ratio.

On second look you're probably right. Not a very convincing ad nonetheless.
