I do not believe any of the claims made about this car. Not registered until 2006? Chevy just handed someone this car with no MSO as they stated it does not come up on an NICB search. Somehow it was owned for 37 years, driven and wrecked but never registered. Sure.

As far as the claims and the restoration (if you might even call it that) I can't believe this car either. However years ago, before used car dealers had to pay sales tax and get titles when they bought a new car from their local dealer or auction, I had several new cars still on a MSO. Would just slap a dealer plate on it and drive it just like any other used car. When it came time (maybe even 10 years later) to sell it the buyer would pay sales tax and we would get them a state issued title. Finally the states realized they were losing out on the sales tax and even more likely the insurance companys realized that we were running dealer insurance on a new car and they weren't getting their "fair share". All good things finally came to an end when they closed that loop hole, but it lasted for many, many years.
