True - but it wasn't THAT bad. I seriously doubt Chevy would have let a car like that leave the factory. Look closely at the 2nd photo how the hood doesn't line up with the header panel.

BTW - you can say anything you want in an ad. Doesn't make it a fact.

For comparison sake. This car scored 995 and got the "Gold Spinner Award.."

Aren't those the headlight washers?

Yes...



I was sent the trim tag and pad vin stamp as well as the vin tag. The tags are legit. The vin stamp seems reasonable at this point but I am not were I can compare to others. I will leave it to someone else to post the info as I was not given nor did I ask if I could post the pics.

My bad... Looked like someone had used regular sheet metal screws. Bad assumption that I based on the rest of the pic.

Back in 99, it had a return fuel line. I don't like the engine VIN stamp.
Tag is original, IMO.

cook_dw 06-07-2017 08:20 PM

Kurt have you seen the engine code on this pad? I still havent had a chance to compare but you obviously trump me anyways. Just curious. You can pm or email me if that is better.

Kurt S 06-08-2017 05:36 AM

Yes, I have.
Knowing that it had two fuel lines at one time, the POP and the pad don't mean much to me....

Agree 100% on the return line. I hadnt seen it and didnt know if you had. :biggthumpup:
