Even with a report a potential buyer should check with the inspector to verify what they are reading is what the inspector actually wrote assuming he even wrote it. Twice I have come across cars with reports or authenticity letters with my name on it and neither of them were real. One car was being sold by a very well known collector and museum owner. It took the threat of a lawsuit to get him to remove the fake letter from his ad. Fraud has been around on collector cars from the beginning but it sure has dampened my enjoyment of it in recent years. I was also duped by the same guy selling the fake 69 Chevelle discussed on here earlier and I once called him a good friend at one time. Money sure has a way of ruining some people.
