I do know that a friend of mine that used him to inspect a 69 Z 6 or 7 years ago since it was out of his area. The report he got back was that the Z was pretty beat and he should pass on it which surprised him because the car looked good in the pics and the write up had things listed correctly. So based on the report and site inspection he passed on the car....then found out 2 weeks later that the person in question, who he hired, provide a false report on the Z in question and bought it out from under him. The guy was some kind of ticked off and still is to this day...... I guess a &quot;Z&quot;ebra doesn't change their stripes.

Thats a really dirty thing to do. I can tell a story like this , but it went the other way. My father went to look at a 69 Z back in 96 that was for sale by our house. My dad wasnt sure of its authenticity at the time even with all the trim tags on it and so on. It was a heavily street raced car with non matching engine and tons of speed parts. Just after my dad got there , Bob Harris showed up and was looking at it also. My father and bob were very good acquaintances at this time. So my Father asked bob if he thought it was the real deal. After some poking around bob assured my dad that it was a true Z car, and promptly told him &quot; If you dont buy it, I will&quot;. Bob could have easily lied and made a big profit on this car and no one would have been the wiser. And while I know that bobs character can come into question at times also.... on that day his ego and character proved to be worthy. And it saddens me to see that Jerry is not a moral guy as i hoped he would be. I have read many of his books, and in my mind considered him a foremost expert and a reliable asset to the community. Im sad to have read this thread.
