Re: Indy Pace Car with L89 option
 

I'm meeting with my friend who is interested in the purchase at lunch today and I'll see what I can get.

I hope this is the real deal.

The car I'm referring to is a hard top with the JL8 brakes, not a convertible.

When you're talking $100K values, anything can be faked. Build sheets, POP's, titles, receipts back to new, etc. Much more important and difficult paperwork has been forged before. Buyer beware, as they say.... [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]

That is one of the reasons the L78 rag top Camaro purchased by 'PuffDaddy' at B/J is such a special car.

While the previous owner did add/change a few items which would have been better off left untouched and original, it is still extremely original, low miles, numbers matching original Drive train, documented L78 4 speed, which is the highest RPO horsepower engine available in a convertible Camaro. Even the original tires come with the car.

For those who may think the price paid was smoke and mirrors, as had been rumored, a licenced dealer offered to buy it at a profit soon after the gavel had been dropped.

Stefano do you mean Sean "Puffy" Combs the rapper bought the L78 rag?? I didn't know that he was a muscle car fan. I thought he liked things like J-Lo and SUV's wit guns in 'em. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Frank,
Not the Rapper. There is a local very enthusiastic enthusiast known as "PuffDaddy".

So how can one protect himself now if everything including paper work can be re-produced? How do you know the difference? Can you tell a repo POP from an original?

By the way, the L89 pace turned out to be a clone.
