The car appears to have gone through some decent body work. The price is a little inflated, but they may think it’s justified considering, maybe the trunk, filler, hood and nose are carbon fiber? I think people are just very optimistic considering what they see online. For what I’m being charged for parts these days, maybe that’s what they are worth lol

Wow, that headliner is...umm...got more wrinkles than my 86 year old MIL.:oops:. If that's any indication of the underhood, trunk and chassis, it's no wonder they didn't post pics.

The paint is fair quality at best and not very straight. The interior is a joke. TBH it looks like a flip car. Done cheaply and quick

1. chrome needs replating- paint it black
2. has old idiot light dash- dont add Dakotas- costs,too much, just stick a big tach in there
3. We need new seats. Too expensive find something on craigs list.

ect, ect.

No cassette radio option in 73.
Power windows were a rare option in 73.

"Z28 badges"?
Probably the only thing "Z28" about it.
No mention of Z28 stripes.

Without seeing pics, the "T" in the VIN or a trim tag... It's hard to tell what this car was born as.

Is that even the correct ‘73 non-RS bumper?
Yes, that's the correct bumper for the 73 standard front end. It's like the 70-72 front bumper but with two extra holes on the top side for the over-and-under bumper guards that were one year only.
