Real deal SoCal GT500 for 40 grand what's not to like. Yeah missing some pieces but not needing to weld in a bunch of ChiCom repro sheet metal will make up for that.

Interesting that the car would have those license plates. Something in its history likely explains that. As for a "Calif" car sure has a lot of rust and in some "normal" (for other areas of the country) and some odd spots (possibly coastal for a while).  Possibly located for a time in multiple areas.  Maybe it was taken to another state for a while then returned.

Typical look of the interior and upper exterior paint from being stored outside in the south west though.

Interesting to see

On the Drivers Side Door Jam, that Hole, is that for the Tilt Away?

This would make a good candidate for a major Restomod.  Late Model Drivetrain, Suspension, Brakes, Seats, Wheels, Paint, ETC.

The 67 door probably explains those screws holding on the warranty plate

[/quote.    The exposed hole is a missing courtesy lamp switch. The switch below is for tilt away.
