This car jumped up to $10k quickly and still has 6 days left on the auction.

Stating "concours condition" and "original paint" only to see black paint in one of the trunks? Seems fishy... Otherwise it's a nice looking teener.

Black headlight surrounds not original on 1972 model year.

Ad states Pedrini wheels but has Rivieras.

$10,100 and reserve not met. As stated nice looking teener but not Concours.

It does have 73 front bumper. Maybe the bumper was replaced from an accident?

Concours does not have that crap on the glove box.

I noticed that immediately, which screams NOT concours...

I think maybe the guy that worked on it was named "Concours".

Regardless of what sellers say, it is the responsibility of the buyer to do all of their homework so they are not taken to cleaners on a purchase. This appears to be a nice car- but not a concours car for sure. Sellers who use language, which is clearly not an accurate representation of the car, should be approached with extreme caution. Caveat Emptor my friends.

Glenn, I agree.
Leaky master too.
Aside from the possibility of rust in that photo what about those odd looking front-to-back lines ? floor work ?
retouched photo ?
Looks fishy.

Man it's really bugging me now. I keep zooming in on that pic trying to figure out what's going on... just looks odd.

No closer look needed. Front end damage that wasn't repaired correctly ...

Clearly the way to sell a car for more than it's worth is to sell it on EBay.

I tend to look @ cars with low mileage (if correct) with concerns ,it goes out for a drive on Sunday,then if it snows or rains or its in a garage etc,etc and not being used it is going to be more hassle than a car used as a daily driver with more miles under the wheels...

Make a lot of false claims and use the words "Concours Condition", then sit back and watch the bids (and money) come in!
