Perhaps they could have left out the fancy bolts or leather work and ACTUALLY BOUGHT REAL DISC BRAKES! Those fake discs are ghetto as HELL. they really ruin the car.

I agree about the discs Ryan- that's the only thing I don't like about the car.

Isn't that an LS1 upper console?

Yea I noticed that as well. Should have definatly done a brake kit of some sort instead of 'covers'. I have noticed some really nice vette's in the past with the same thing (I'm like wtf).

That is one fine '69. Besides the brakes, everything else is great.

Yeah I did.... And I agree with everyone on the fake rotors. The 4th gen console looks pretty good and I love how the whole interior is leather covered. God I wish...

Maybe its turned upside down to go with the flow of the seat?????

(Doesn't look right however)

It would be 10x better with a nice Wilwood or Baer kit...

No i just think they weren't "thinking" and were in too much of a hurry to do it right!

Why not an "LS1" instead of the "LT1".. more deduction off of the price

Ok.. here is a test.. what is wrong in this pic..

Hint.. its suspension related


We were discussing this car on Pro-touring.com .. nice car but in NO way worth $125,000.. for that you would expect big brakes (not rear drum) and some suspension work.. You could build that car for a lot less than the asking price..

Pretty car though.. and I love the interior with the exception of the digital guage (not my thing) and the OEM car stereo..

I would also expect higher end wheels for that kind of $$$$.. the term "shill bidding" comes to mind when i look at the ad

bah...that car is ghetto. "Nice" interior I guess, but the lettering/badging, wheels/tires, suspension/chassis, etc. is pretty bad. Maybe its the "Jay Leno, this is the car for you!" statement in the beginning that bothers me.
