Saw my twin GT/CS 'vert in Hayesville NC

I thought I lost my mind as my wife and I walked to a local restaurant in Hayesville NC last night. Just 4 or 5 cars from our parking spot was a white GT/CS with a black top and a personalized Great Smoky Mountains plate (which is what I have). I had to look back at my car to see if it was still there. Upon closer inspection I saw that the exhaust was aftermarket and the wheels as well. When I went around to the front there was no shaker hood. OK, I was seeing differences now but the car appeared to be in equal condition to mine and in all the years that have passed, I am surprised I had never seen it before. Car shows, cruise-ins, just nothing.
In the long shot the owner sees this thread, it would be cool to know a little about your history with the car. I wish I had my camera with me but I wasn't expecting a need to use it. I also wish I saw your VIN to see how close it might have been to mine. They actually WERE twins coming off the assembly line.

I am sure that was a little worrysome at first, like did someone steal my car? Now it probably just freaks you out a little, it would me. Kind of cool that you got to see it and take a look, but still just a little weird with the plate and similar mods.

^^^ Thanks for the replies guys.
Yeah, my heart skipped a beat or two. His personal tag was GTCS where mine is 07CS but with the same bear design on the Smoky Mountain plate. I don't even see that many regular '05 - '09 GT verts that are white with black tops. They are starting to disappear due to age apparently.
If he had the Shaker and one of these bears in his car then I would have panicked.

The stranger then had a very sharp looking 'Vert I think, even if missing the shaker.

I don't know about the other mods but I was in Chicago this past weekend for a show and autocross.....lucky I am even getting to it today as I feel like I got hit by a train after the 11 hour drive yesterday following a busy weekend.
