Re: 1969 Z/28 trim tag
By no means does lack of paperwork make a car worthless. I never said that or meant to imply such. What I said was, in my opinion, in this day and age, an undocumented car does not deserve a premium price. That is far different than saying a car is worthless. Certainly in my case that is a fact...ie, I was unwilling to pay what would be consider a "fair" price today for a strong #2 '69 Z w/o docs because I'm afraid of what lies in store for these cars.
The better question to ask I suppose is..Not does your car have less value than your friends, but whether or not your car has less value than a similar Z with paper work? And if so, how much less?
And, as for Ed Cuneen, you were actually making my point not yours with that example. The reason people go to Ed is to "prove" thier car is real because paper from Ed is respected to a degree that gives it authenticity to a car lacking GM paperwork. The reason they do this is becuase it makes their car more valuable after Ed gives his seal of approval.
In any event, I certainly never meant to dis anyones car by my statement.
