I usually check the sellers feedback rating and comments. This seller is keeping his feedback private. He won't let you see what previous buyers have said about him. That should be enough info to keep you away.

I would try to find a car that has not been restored or one that has had a paint job a while back. You would see how much straighter it would be and easier to detect what has popped up under the paint during that time.

Something like this but a bit less expensive since you are not looking into a Z28:

I didn't even know you could do that. I don't see the point in having a rating system if the person could leave it private.

I see he's had 11 negative responses. I'd stay far away from this guy. That's a lot, IMO.

I actually think I know this car. It use to be near me in the St. Loiuis area. I wouldn't forget that orange. Car has been done at least 15 years ago. It was for sale for a long time too. It use to run 15" super lights, but now it has some bling wheels, which automatically makes it a "pro-touring" car, .

Well. I like the color. My biggest concern is the driver's door to front fender gap. That, coupled with the hood fit makes me wonder if the subframe is square to the unibody.

That left fender fit is my biggest gripe too. Typical of aftermarket fenders. I just looked at a '69 with the same problem I got to paint in a few weeks. You know the fiberglass hood won't be right without a ton of hours anyway.

Yeah, I think it's the same car. Seller is out of Osage MO. not sure if it was sold, or a dealer is trying to sell it for the guy. I never knew the guy that does, or use to own it.

I bought a Camaro from those guys a while ago for a friend, it was just ok. It looked better in the pictures. Like everyone said, go look at it. Keep looking and you will find the right car. You need to be at Pigeon Forge now, there will be several thousand cars there..
