I got flagged after reading all the "I hope the new owner drives it" comments

    That's O.K., don't feel bad, I'm not even going to try to comment on that P.O.S., as I know, since all of my submitted comments already are routinely being held for "special attention" (review by the B.A.T. staff) before being actually posted on the site, that none of anything I might comment of would make it through! 

     Particularly as B.A.T. has gotten more aggressive at weeding out the "stick-in-the-mud" type comments; but personally, I wish they'd try to make their site more informative and professional, this meaning that they "should" be weeding out all of the stupid "Rah-Rah", "I remember when . . . .", and the rest of the "inane comments" that actually are "not constructive" to the process, that is unless your just a non-bidding simpleton commenter looking for "thumbs-up" likes from others alike!

Was the snake on the fenders ever that far away from "Cobra Jet 428"?
If not, what's that tell us ... that it's been repainted?

If you look at the inner fender apron, front left it is heavily damaged. There is no way that panel could be damaged without damaging outside metal and fiberglass parts. The hood has red oxide primer on it, which is an indication it has been resprayed. The fender emblems and stripes are not correct. The stripes have the wrong font. The emblems are in the wrong locations. The lower valence is not mounted correctly. There appears to be a missing power steering oil cooler. That is normally mounted on the radiator support. Someone left it off. The blackout on the hood is painted (not a decal)

Add all those up and you get: hit hard and repaired. On the plus side the fenders and fiberglass look like original parts. So it most likely happened early.

Im sure a closer look would reveal a lot more

Thank you Pete.

Being in the sun all day at Ft Meyers beach I probably  wasn't thinking when I couldn't help myself and rebutted jag1964's stupid comment. I have  bit my tongue long enough on all those butt kissing know nothing posters. To say this car would be more popular at a SAAC event than a " perfect" restored car( well the poster said a 350k resto which if anyone spent that much would be a perfect car) is one of the dumbest comments I have seen on bat as mist SAAC members would walk right by this rodent infested car as to not inhale anything.
