Well, I guess the new owner will find out whether all the details about the finish work are real when he repairs or replaces the crushed RH front fender. That partially explains the real-world asking price for a V-code car, though the column shift, standard dash, filed-down non-rosette VIN rivets (you've gotta take the VIN off to repop the dash) and bevy of non-original parts are certainly helping the buyer in this case.

Plus their little "trick" of only one body tag screw being painted didn't come out right. The shape of the unpainted portion doesn't match the shape of the tag. And the tag doesn't look as if it's ever been bent.
