Default Re: Car Inspection in Akron OH??

It is happening more and more often every day. I was just involved in an LS6 convertible inspection. The car was under restoration and left me little to see that I could prove that is was not real. The engine stamp was good and matched the car. Something kept bugging me about it so I dug deep into my box of photocopied ads for LS6 cars dating back into the early 2000s. Low and behold was an ebay ad for a firewall with cowl tag and VIN, plus engine and associated parts. Had to give the new owner the bad news that he now had a rebodied LS6 convert. Word of caution, if I find anyone and you are faking these cars I will personally bury you on the internet. The law does not seem to be able to do much so your name will become a household word when I am done. No slander or libel at all just pure truth and facts. More reasons to post the complete VIN on line when a fake is located so someone else does not get screwed!

I just saw one of these people on a recent TV show about classic car values and they showcased this builders car. I think he holds the award for the highest quantity of faked cars. He not only gets away with it but then they use him and his car on TV. VERY sad!
