Sunlit Gold, AC car, what is not to like other than the transmission swap.

I wonder why no one ever asks about sheet metal repair?

Yikes! I have seen some pretty bad cars have come up. Lots of panel replacement and the buyers seem to be oblivious. On the 1968s bad tags too. But the matching numbers trumps all even in the biggest crap box bodies...oh well it is entertaining

There are a lot of ways to tell if panels have been replaced.

The most obvious way is usually non factory welds. Reproduction panels are often different shapes. Sometimes restorers use panels from different years or reproduction panels. The lack of factory sealers and deadners can be a clue. Thats just a start.

This gold car has no attachment points for the hood seal and no big block oil cooler (requiring modification to the radiator support). I dont know of its been replaced, but the point is the car should have been inspected in person and the questions were never even asked. At least not in the open forum.

The car still went  for a good price considering what others have sold for on BaT. It isn't a 180-200K 68 Vert but at that price it lets a buyer enjoy a car like this and still have room to fix surprises I'd think. We never really know if any of the bidders have had cars inspected but Pete is right that this car should have been inspected by any prospective bidders.

Message me your email and I can help you on 69-70s in many areas. Production changes in the model year. O probably don't know everything but know a lot. I've seen a lot of replacement metal on 69-70 BaT auctions. Like Pete has said there are telltale signs in many instances. I have a couple of original panel 1969 Bosses(302 and 429 original paint) at my disposal  built in the spring for references to  factory assembly.
