I emailed the salesperson to tell him I was no longer interested and how the car wasn’t as advertised. We’ll see if they’re reputable enough to change the listing.

Unfortunately I’m not in that position. But even if I was, I’d want the original drivetrain that came in the car.

I think the VIN tag isn’t original to the car

It was pretty amazing how he was able to find out that the engine wasn’t original to the car. There were enough red flags up to that point where I decided not to go through with the trade but he certainly confirmed my decision

Carl saw them and has determined that the engine is not original to the car

Wow… thanks so much!! A nice bit of detective work. Some in the forum were suspicious that the car wasn’t an original matching numbers 409 Impala, but you certainly confirmed it! Thanks again.

I thought so too- not clear and legible

Yeah I probably dodged a bullet thanks to you guys

They are asking $60k for the Impala. I’d say my car is probably a high # 3 which according to the Hagerty valuation guide is worth $71,600.

Thanks to all for the advice. There were enough concerns raised about the Impala to make me uncomfortable with the trade, so I’m going to hang onto my Camaro.

Believe me I am!

Probably very true. The dealer told me he’d split the transport costs with me but for the difference in the value of the cars, he should eat the whole thing
