All good points, if you've confirmed them. Perhaps just wishful thinking on my part. I'm not looking at the car in terms of making a bid, so easy for me to give it the benefit of the doubt. Thanks!

What I said was: Given the lack of description. Low price. No proof of anything beyond it being a red 67 SS., in my opinion one of a few possible things is going on with this car.... Not saying these things are true, just things one should consider when things don't make sense.
There is no description written. Nothing!!! Nothing at all. I said, for this car to be listed at this price., IN MY OPINION....I would think or wonder if any of the things I listed might be the case
Like., drivetrain? No mention of anything about it, so one should consider it's likely not original until proof shown otherwise., especially given below market price.
VIN TAG.... not shown, maybe it's got repop rivets.... Have to see this to know., could be reason why priced below market value. Not saying it is., just can't see it
Rust. Usually in my experience when a car LOOKS Nice and Shiny on the exterior as this car does, old and crusty underhood and interior as shown, and rubbers around trunk wasted, tail pipe showing rust....it's been more than likely repainted ( quick flip ) but I don't know this to be the case, just how I approach an eBay or Craigslist car when a seller doesn't have enough sense to write anything about the car.
The term Pig with Lipstick could apply. Or maybe this is a REAL 67 SS with original born with drivetrain, original beautiful paint, well cared for for years!! and nobody at Mecum auction noticed. Maybe the current owner doesn't know values? Maybe nobody looking at it on eBay sees this is a diamond in the rough!! Probably has a POP and Build Sheet too LOL., one never knows .... But this ain't my first rodeo and I'd be looking at this car in person on a lift if I was a potential buyer or having someone look at it for me. So, all to say.... It's easy to make assumptions based on no knowledge and I'll keep beating the drum for people to do their homework. Read between the lines when someone says something and when they don't.
Pretty Car
