Reported VIN: 124379N526710

From the hard card:

Original matching numbers 396/375 HP L78 V-8 engine
Engine never taken out of the car
Original retail order
Window sticker

Also consigned to Mecum Kissimmee 2016, no sale.

POP was on eBay Sept 2024

Must be the L78 version 327. Somethings not right

:blush::blush:BP ---- 273 10 bolt --- goes with the 210 horse -- LOL

Whats up with that rear SS emblem:haha:

I certainly appears someone has been caught making up a car with a story to match. Probably had no idea the POP would surface one day.

Rare 1 of 1!!! Flint-built 396/375 HP L78 V-8 engine!!!

Mecum should pull it from their auction now.

should have taken the $ 75 K in 2016

I still don't understand how it's legal to sell cars like this.

Be interesting to know if the current owner bought it to remove it from circulation and hide the truth. Good thing people have a pic of it saved for evidence.
Has anyone alerted Mecum to this development ?

This occurs more than you could ever imagine. It's all protected in the small print.

There is now a window sticker and another protecto plate pictured for this car.

Doesn't look like the original... different name, address, etc....

Window sticker is a repro, has several errors. Special ducted hood was not an option when this car was built.

Ducted hood is on order too so it must be a reproduction

Fake POP obviously. They always use a non traceable or non existent address.

Hmm. I just came across a 69 Z28 that was fake as can be and it had this POP that was aged and faked, look at the handwriting on this one and the one above. It looks the same or am I seeing things?
The dealer ink stamp can be easily made up. Fraud is so rampant now.

Here’s the POP from same z28 out of WV

Go to Zillow and type in that address. It does not exist. The fakers RARELY use a valid address. The really good fakers find someone who is deceased, and make sure no relative lives in their old house. Then they create a fake story with a real address and the actual name of someone who lived there. That was the case with the made up 69 L89 Camaro down in Florida a few years back. The guy went to great lengths to create a story, use a real address and fake all the docs, POP, dealer contract etc.

When the car was exposed on this site, he even had a shill come on here claiming to know the original owner. All pure BS. The car brought $200k plus at a Mecum auction.

On the POP that Jonesy posted above, I'm thinking that two-letter state abbreviations were not yet in common use in 1969, which would support the theory that it has been faked.

and who puts " Mr " on a document like this
