Claims to be a TCA member and has been collecting for 55 years. Yet displays the integrity of a clueless antique mall dealer. Hysterical to say the least.

That doesn't even look like a very good paint job to me even with my bad eyes. Surely not factory.
I know you don't want to hear anymore about my eyes.
I just use that to show that even I can see it is not a good paint job.

HORRIBLE paint job. Worse lettering.
This is what a 2363 looks like. Notice paint, lettering, horn mounts, plugged portholes:

That's because it's calculating shipping based on your location, and yes, eBay knows where you are. That's the price difference between east and west coast shipping based on box size and weight

Yup. You're up the road a few hours which translates to a few more $'s cost.
