Unless I missed something, I see no evidence this is a real SS.

Nice looking monte. If it is or should I say was a true SS I hope they kept the original parts. I have a 71 SS clone. If that is the going price for a 71 clone. mine is for sale!

Nice car and I’m not going to pick on it. But I will say, back to me and my restoration vs rebuild, IF it’s a true SS why??   Knowing how rare they actually are. I guess I’d need history. If you’re going to do all that great work why not a regular car.

My sentiments exactly. If it started as a shell, then I get it. It is a beautiful car though. It appears that every tell tale clue that might point to it being real has been removed. Unless they have some docs, it may as well be a restomodded base car with SS monikers. 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

Uuhhhhh, yeah…. No thank you. Hard pass.

I'm thinking the price reflects what he's got into it rather than true or clone. 

IMHO once you start "upgrading" stuff your market changes. I like the Dakota option, but the engine choice killed it for me (not talking about price) just 2 examples. 

I was slightly considering the 71 in Orlando, waiting on more info and pic's but checked this am and it's sold. For the price even as a clone with good bones I thought it was a possibility for what I wanted

So, The L1 in the vin just shows what engine was originally in it? I cannot believe they would have took a SS and made into this ,unless it was before they started getting where they are today price wise.

No. L is for Van Nuys and the 1 is the start of the build number. No engine notation in the VIN.
