OK I'll start:
Chrome trim on verticals of grill
Gas tank straps should be black
Missing SS bezel on door panels

Nice looking car though.
 
I found three other minor details (which can be easily fixed BTW):
1° The "Chevelle by Chevrolet" trunk emblem is missing
2° The steering wheel is cracked
3°*The windshield washer system doesn't seem to be operative (missing hoses from jar to pump and to hood squirters)

Don't get me wrong!..it's a beautiful car! :yes:

Claude. :)

P.S: "LevonH", I don't see anything wrong with the grille...:confused:

HI Claude.
If you look at the center of the grill it has 2 vertical chromed pieces above/below the SS emblem.
Those were on Malibu's; not SS cars.
 
Fuel pump inlet line not indexed correctly:p:waving: Just kidding...
 
Wrong radio knobs
Missing spear on door panels

Just doing a TTT
Still looks nice.

Russ, I'll be honest with you. Besides the normal wrong master, no mention of docs, and a few other things, it is one of the better cars out there right now. Sad.
Funny you say that Andy... when I was posting this one I was thinking "my luck this is the first one that doesn't have anything wrong with it." haha

Looks like we found some stuff though! Gotta love us Team Chevelle guys! :D
 
What about the paint overspray on the door latch mechanism and screws? Tell me that isn't right...'cause if it is my car is wrong. :-/
 
OMG there are over 30 at first glance, the sad thing is this is a big dealer . Look in the background at the building and some of his inventory, this is truly sad if this is any reflection of what he is selling as Nice.

Well, I know one thing for certain. If I ever become filthy rich and want an all original 70 SS.... I'm calling Super Sport Sales and Service ,www.supersportsales.net

Impressive eye Jim! :thumbsup:
 
Whats so pathetic about those dealers is they get top dollar for a classic car and they put absolutely zero dollars into the details. With that car having that many flaws in detail it probably is a disaster in the drive train department.
