The small rear spoiler was still available into late February so the deck spoiler is likely original. I can't say the same for the cowl hood, or the styled trim group items that were added to the exterior. At best, it looks like an amateur restoration was performed and the car would need some parts/trim corrections and some paint repairs to make it better.

I wonder how the BAT bidding will go on this one given the issues?

Yes agree, lots of little things wrong, and typical of an amathur resto.

Talked to Paul about the old Pro Stock days and the last of his Trans AM days . He has over 150 cars he will be selling on BAT. Guys please don’t kill him on the restoration........ He has kept his race car fabricators, welders and mechanics to restore these cars. ..... If not they would all be out of jobs !!!!!! They are learning as they go !!!!!! I wouldn’t want to RACE against him !!!!!!

Auction is sitting on $69K with several hours to go. I think Paul is going to do pretty well on this car. He would have done well to get mid-50's last year.

Bid went from $35K to $69K in one bid. Just mind blowing

That doesn't excuse sloppy work.
There's no way I could put in a headliner like that and consider it done.

Makes you wonder- who is suddenly buying all these cars at these prices? Everyone I know who has made a killing in the market is buying real estate, not cars. I realize this is anecdotal, but I'm just not seeing the buying frenzy happening in my circle of friends.
