Front clip is a 67, based on the 5 slats in the pic of "it" next to the tree. Looks like it's one of those that are cobbled together from all different parts and hoping they can bait and hook someone that doesn't know any better. Too bad fleabay can't flag ads for stupidity. They should allow for a bigger section that says BUYER BEWARE...BE VERY AWARE.

But,
With a strong background in sourcing and antiques, I have researched this car extensively, and it displays history with mystique as information is discovered.

I'm leaning towards "She did her best, and put her faith in other BSers information, and is quoting it as gospel". I'm going to say that she may not know any more than she dug up on the web from those references.

The 1966 interior was installed by the factory in '63 as a special order. The missing glove box lid cover trim was a weight saving option. Also, the slots cut in the grill was for the tow bar in case of engine failure.

Must be the factory experimental electronic version. They were ahead of their time in '63.
"AS IS"....?........That one always raises a red flag, as in 'not telling all', to cover their azz. The 'vague' photography seems to bear this out, too.

...and my head is still spinning....
why EVEN put those pics of the Edelbrock intake??? Maybe they were still plastered after counting "all those" leaf springs....
...and, too, just gotta wonder what the "reserve" is?????
...but I did just notice it has the ultra-rare "Truth-or-Consequences, New Mexico" ONLY hood option. I had read sometime in the past in some magazine somewhere that someone had referred to a "special" hood that was installed ONLY on cars shipped to two Chevrolet dealers in Truth-or-Consequences, NM. This makes the car a "must have" and "gotta buy" at "any price."
I just wish it had had the optional 6-way powered high-back bucket seat option, too. With that, the hood, the Z06 package, the digital tach, the elevenenty-twelve taillights, and so on, this would no doubt be a 1 of 1 car...if SOMEONE doesn't buy it, it will soon appear in the showroom of Terry Michaelis!!! LOL!!!

I like the ignition coil mounted to the firewall, and the close up pictures of items that don't matter. I wonder about the frame and whats under all that red paint.
