i found it interesting the lug nut bag in the trunk it appears to have at least one lug nut that looks like a 10 spoke type of lug nut while the bag should contain 5 standard steel wheel lug nuts. I noticed the latch support has black paint flaking off also. Just studying it from an originality non messed with point of view. Lots to like on this car though.

Not a ten spoke lug nut more like a generic dress up wheel lug nut. Regardless as you pointed out it needs to be the stock short acorn style steel wheel nut in the bag.

I would hold off on sourcing one if it were my car. The GT350 non AC didn't typically get a battery Heat shield. Cory the selling owner was adding a number of items that were missing or he thought were missing on the car after he bought it for authenticity. I know this because I got questioned by him about numerous things. I suspect the heat shield was one of the items he may have replaced/added to the car. At least that would explain better why it was there.

Yes, I noticed a few changes 😉

Then it changed from "survivor" to preserving it as "day 2"

Battery shield looks original and if he was changing things out he should have replaced the dash pad and installed the original belts back on.
