"1969 X-22 RS/SS 396 4 SPEED 12 BOLT- THE REAL DEAL W@W!"
Yeah sure. N658560 VIN with a 10C tag. Off by 4 months.
I know, I'm being harsh again...
ZZMike Dec 1st, 05, 07:17 PM Using my binoculars to look athe computer screen I think the tag is the real deal; sadly, the car is not. C-
3forme Dec 1st, 05, 07:27 PM William, I think you were a little harsh on the Green L78 but on this one, bash away. I personally like the booster and 396 emblem installation.

Bill was correct on the items that were wrong on the L78. It looks nice, but those are a fair # of issues for a car at that level. For $82K, I'd expect better.... Notice how little gets said when a highend car comes thru that is correct.
This car is done more as a street rod, I sure hope noone thinks it's restored to original. So the only thing really wrong are the basics - tags don't match.
For reference:
ST69 12437 NOR152541 BDY
TR 711 71 71 PNT
10C X22
12437 9N658560
Rack Man Dec 1st, 05, 11:07 PM Yea...something is way jacked up there..I'm no expert But...I think the tag is fake.....It appears to line up to be a 10C of 68 car....No X code should be there..
My RS/SS was a 10B (68) car and was within 600 numbers of this one...
There is other problems with this as well...that I won't go into
hmmm.....
Wayne Dec 2nd, 05, 03:46 AM How do you determine the cowl tag build date and the vin # as far as being correct for each other.
William Dec 2nd, 05, 07:51 AM There are lists that show the correlation between VIN and build date, check this site and the CRG site.
The photo is poor but I actually believe the tag is real. A VIN of N658560 was built June 1969. I have been in this hobby for 30 years, tags have been swapped as long as I remember.
As for the Rallye green L78, the winning contestant saw the comments about the car on this site and is now concerned about it being misrepresented. Stay tuned.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
1969 RS/SS DROPTOP Dec 2nd, 05, 05:31 PM It amazes me the idiotic things which are getting done to these cars this day and time.
sleepsinshed Dec 3rd, 05, 08:19 AM Hey, cut him a break. He did confess that it's just a RS 396, not a RS/SS. This is apparently the long lost, one-off, COPO RS 396. :clonk:

3forme Dec 3rd, 05, 08:46 AM No Kurt, I realize the items were incorrect that William mentioned, I was more referring to the quality of the resto. Aside from being completely over marked
under the hood, I felt it was better than an "amateur" job thats all, no harm meant or intended, OK?
mister_copo Dec 3rd, 05, 01:44 PM There are plenty of things wrong with the car if you look at it. I particularly laugh when I see things like spoilers with power antenna masts and comfort weave interiors with standard door panels. But thats just me.
