I wondered about that exact issue myself, when I first saw that photo. That was a picture of the car when it arrived in British Columbia after beng sold by the original owner. There is quite a bit of original patina in that photo - original engine paint, greasy engine, rusty master cylinder, factory emission hoses and the flaking paint on the air cleaner, along with the faded air cleaner lid decal. All maintenance on the car was done by the dealer from 1972 to 1985, so it is doubtful the original owner did anything to the engine compartment himself.
What is the general consensus on the decal on F-bodies?
