Rick and I have both spoken about this situation many times. Just as he did here. I was just last week put in the same situation for a 67 SS L-78 on eBay. Still on eBay. Buyer saw it’s listed in the “L-78 Registry” and was happy to to put down a sizable deposit. Then enter the lets see if Mike knows this car? You can figure out the rest I think. Almost spent close to 6 figures
Unfortunately I think many are unintentionally misled by seeing these CERTIFICATES of being in a Registry. I’m not sure that means the same as verified and authenticity of a car. I do know, there’s plenty of people out here who can help someone BEFORE buying a car. Some may do it for FREE and that’s fine and Dandy and others get paid which is also more than fine and dandy. But I for one think everyone should continue to reinforce with all of our friends to get a car verified first. Put your Pride aside. I know many who think “ I don’t need to pay someone to tell me if a stamp is fake or document is fake.... I know just as much as that guy” Buyer Beware.... even all of us
