    So many problems with this listing. I don't believe any dealer would advertise any car with this many false claims. I guess it's every buyer for themselves. The quarters indicate 1968 The SS trim indicates Skylark Custom the Front fender shark Fins are 1969 just for starters.

    Max Damage I'm working on it!

    It looks nice, but yea, completely wrong. I guess a 68 Skylark with a 69 GS hood. I think those fenders could be from a '68 skylark?

    Definitely not a GS cal car, that's for sure.

    No vent windows so 69 doors at least, 68 head light bezels also. 69 fender gills but 68 quarters.
    Only the VIN will tell what the shell started as.
    Re-Sale red does look good on it.

    It's grown emblems and a GS hood recently...

    43537 Skylark - but 69? Has the key on the column but a '68 instrument housing along with the quarters? Yet no molding above the bumper in the back either...

    Yeah, I don't know whats going on. The underside almost looks to "dry" for this car to have had quarter skins put on - which could have explained the 68 markers. 69 rear seat upholstery in the back but loose fitting Chevelle skins up front. It's everywhere you look.

    If it's not a real GS, IMO they are being dishonest where they claim it's a GS. Interesting that in the 2 spaces for VIN they put all zeros, or their phone number.

    You're right! One would think they would be scratching their heads as to what's correct.
