67 R/T, GTX, and Chargers with 440`s had chrome covers.

Yep, '67 was chrome. '68's were painted.

"I think these inside trunk photos are not good?Ideas or opinions welcomed?"

Yes, I would pass, I would expect a bit of surface rust in those spots but that is further along than I would like. Even in a climate controlled storage I'd be worried about it progressing. When you pull the vinyl roof to install the correct one and pull the rear window to reseal it, it's all going to snowball.

That was exactly what I was thinking.So actually would you say it is rusting from the inside out?I wondering if I put something on those places to kill the rust and prime it it would maybe slow it down.Looks like rear window is leaking to me and all this water is coming in!I bet there would be a total mess if that roof vinyl was pulled?

I am sure it was nice and untouched but already 17 years old.
And valve covers are an easy swap.
Grab the hustle stuff parts catalog and start ordering back in the day. Swaped in half an hour

thanks.......that possibility never occurred to me......and I didnt realize they were so easily installed

I bought it from the original owner, who barely did maintenance, let alone any upgrades

After seeing the inside of trunk pics, I would bet the car has been repainted and also is not as low milage as they are advertising it as. Agree with the above statement that once the vinyl top is peeled off it is going to turn into a total restoration/money pit real fast.

I am so glad I spent the money to have this car inspected,because it sure saved me a lot of headaches.I am actually 18 hours away in NC.Was considering using free flying hours with friend for a trip to look at it in person if inspection came out good.Goes to show ya,you can't buy a pig in a poke!I am not sure if I want to even make an offer now.
