I can see your house from my computer.  There's a squirrel in your yard...

[siteunseen]

I have a grey squirrel in the front of my pants according to my girlfriend.

That squirrel you see just got lead poisoning, he'll not be with us too much longer.

Real on right (Thanks @kats)

Left is badly painted or fake; too much chrome showing.

Are those both from the video?  In the video the front passenger cap is not the same as the rear.  Actually, maybe just the right front is "real", by your comment. 

Nit nit nit...  Such fun.

Somebody's got to do it. Keeps us all in check and all on present times. I agree with some past post. There's an artificial price uptick that's gonna fall.

I remember someone speaking of the "dead cat bounce"?

I agree.. who knows.... for only 30k there has been a lot of things lost or poorly replaced.

The front wheel-covers don't match the rears.  Two different designs and two different paint jobs.

What's more interesting about what you're showing is "how did they get on this car?".  The fakes/repro's probably weren't available in 1981.  The car went in in 1981 then came out and went to Malamut "Museum" in 2002.  And, apparently, is still there, Wob seems to be selling the car for Malamut.  There is no real seller after Malamut, it's all Malamut.  Wob is his agent.  And Wob says he has known the car since "Day 1".

So, one of those two parties must have added something to the car that went into storage in 1981.  People are right to be suspicious, some things are not 100% transparent here.

Pretty sure this is not Mike's car.  I saw the owner, he was 'youngish', I would say mid 40's.  Although, he probably knows Mike well since they are in the same region and the car was in Mike's museum.  I am pretty sure that I know Mike's show cars.  Mike has S/N HLS30-00222 which is far superior to this one.

Interesting I believe the Safari Gold 240 that sold earlier this had the exact same issue two different caps
