Looks pretty nice to me. A little over the top  on the add on's ,but still a good representation of a Monte Carlo. What is with the replacement ID number? Is this considered a salvage car?

I agree with Jim, Nice looking 72 but what is the Replacement ID number???    I never seen that before!!!

When I bought my 71 SS the vin was rusted away ( ironically no other rust on the car) and the state of California reissued a vin tag and riveted it to the door jamb. Replacement tags are installed by the state after a thorough inspection of the car. And the number matches all docs.

When I saw that replacement tag, rust was the first thing that came to mind. They sure  didn’t hold back on photos. I looked at all the photos quite closely, zoomed a lot. Underneath is a bit crusty and I saw some things that were a bit concerning.The other thing I noticed while zooming is the vinyl top is padded and I noticed an area where it is beyond the trim. Otherwise it has nice curb appeal. There’s a gold one out there with a very similar paint configuration.
