Re: Mecum Auction 68 L89 Camaro
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: kwhizz</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The experts here are pretty good at seeing through the real protecto-plates and the fakes(newer issued)..... Although I am no expert, I have seen some that are just 'too new', especially the booklet..and many of the 'newer issued' seem to have 'many times' a vague address..like a Po box or highway number....researching the address on the protecto plates at the County hall of records is a good way to verify prior property/name ownership..I actually located the original owner of one of my cars by just writing a letter to the protecto-plate address. I also proved a protecto-plate for a 69 L-89 camaro false by looking up prior property ownership history...The owner of the property in 1969 was not the same name on the protecto=plate..a few other details also made it obvious that the protecto-plate and and tha car 100% not original/fake...
Ding, Ding..........This bit of info should apply to "All" L-89 cars.........Hint .....Hint!!!! </div></div>
All 'L-89' cars <span style="font-weight: bold">only</span>??? it should apply on <span style="font-weight: bold">ALL</span> cars that have a protecto-plate. Especially the 'one-of-one's..or is it 'one of two?' These 'newer' protecto-plates have been around for many years.
Many of the property records are on-line now and can be looked up easily. Although many counties do not go back to the 60's on-line. But a 'records searcher' can be found on line that will research the address for a very reasonable fee(usually less than 75 bucks).
The original owner that I found by the protecto-plate address was just a 67 rs-ss small block car, but it was really neat as 'she' wrote me a letter about her 'golden hawk' and even sent me some day one black and white pics !!
