Here's the '70 LT1 I bought last fall for a chunk less $$$ than his price. It's in mostly original paint, original interior, and the tank sticker is still in place. It does have the original white top which needs to be replaced. Rust-free... I haven't taken interior pictures, but it's very good w/no dash cracks or seat rips, etc. The carpet is worn beneath the floormats(!), but it's all very good driver-quality.

Sold
Sold to a new owner for $22,500 plus shipping to Florida.
I must admit I was pretty surprised.
I would have loved this particular car but knew I wold be way upside down at that price by the time I got it done.
Seller was a great guy too.

Sounds like the owner of the 1971 LT-1 was an honest guy who represented the car fairly... Probably one of the reasons that it sold.
As far as the pad goes and being a good re-stamp... I'd have to disagree. There are some major issues there.

Curious, what issues did you see with the stamp pad? Wondering if many would notice?

The "broach marks" look suspect, even from a so-so photograph. I would imagine that in person, under magnification it would be very apparent that they are not broach marks.
The VIN derivative has a major issue. Take a look at pad photos of cars near this one and you should be able to pick it out.
I didn't pull any photos of the assembly stamp so I have no comment on that. The first two areas were enough to get my attention.
This re-stamp is better than most that get posted on this forum, but it is still pretty easy to spot if you know what you are looking for.
