    I have not participated in AACA judged shows, but I was under the impression that in the event of a judging question about the availability of certain options, it was the responsibility of the car owner to provide the documentation.

    years ago at MCACN there was a silver/blue stripe 70 w31 there with the hood closed.

    it too had a/c and present owner claimed previous owner installed it.

    I am not a GM or Oldsmobile expert under any circumstances so let me be careful here asking this question.  Are you absolutely certain of your claim in the above statement.  Could this be a  COPO car that was special ordered with the AC and the power brakes?  I know from the marque clubs I have judged and been judged in that there are often anomalies in cars to what are considered the norm.  We have seen documented evidence on cars that have never been touched of "the wrong" bumper or trim piece from the factory.  This is especially true with low production cars or cars with special options. 

     

    Lastly I would defend the AACA judging system in that this appears to be a very nicely done car.  Even if this car is incorrect, and I am not disputing this, it is done with what appears to be a correct GM AC unit and brake booster.  This would never be caught under the AACA system if these parts were not available on what is a low production option package.  It is possible that it was never a "W31" car and that badging was added after a GN first.  They claim to have the data plate and if this car is not what it is claimed to be the auction company could and should be at risk though the bidders wave any recourse when registering to bid.    

    no it isnt a copo and it didnt get the wrong bumper from the factory

    the data plate wont confirm what the car is

    the best way to confirm this car is a fake is by pulling off a kick panel

    because if it was originally an a/c car the sheet metal behind kick panel would be different from non a/c car
