Seems like quite a few "inconsistencies" between the pictures and the description on this ad - at least the pictures reveal a lot!

Looks good from a distance. Then you walk up to it, look it over, and walk away shaking your head. What a mess.

Yeah, that VIN tag would get the fish eye from the DPS out here.

Lot's of hinky stuff.

Looks like it is a 1970/1971 to me, definitely not a 1974

Sure looks like it is to me. The under side looks like a mess to me.

I bought those very same valve covers on ebay for $89. GOing to sand those down and paint them. This guy saved a lot of money on chrome by painting everything.

Someone put a 1970 front clip, and a 70/71 rear tail panel and lights, on this car. V.I.N. says it's a 1974 slant six.

The battery installation behind the back seat is awesome!
The seat mounting bolts through the floor with no washers on them are top shelf too.

That VIN tag is being held on by phillips head screws, it's been swapped. Bet the body numbers don't match.
