Re: Fake Protect-O-Plates...
Answers to a few opinions....dont be upset,please read and try to evaluate what i'm saying...ok?
i love all your opinions and i'm not being negative in any way.....
1.)Don't kid yourselves guys like this are hurting the value
of all Chevy's and slowly over time eroding the market and
confidence for muscle cars in general. Absolutely devastating
for the hobby and has been for years.
A.) true..you can blame gm for not using the vins as a way of
determining a cars true pedigree and not keeping records.
you can also blame
the people that produces tags..etc....one of the reasons mopar
brings the big bucks....vins dont lie!
2.)Tommy, It is also a joke when "people" sell repo parts as NOS on e-bay.......
A.)ok,thats a little off topic but i agree.....
3.)Wagonman for some reason YOU feel justified in reproducing a car to exact standards IE restamping components and fake paperwork. I don't get that at all (yes they only made one convert Z28), but yet you find it immoral, dishonest sickening if someone procures faked components or documentation.
What you have done is keep these crooks in business. That goes for anyone buying restamped or fake documents. I have heard all the rationalizations: I'll never sell the car, its the only one made, I can't afford original parts so I buy restamped components. None of them have any merit to me. Again buying these fake components/documents is creating a market and enabling the crooks. Just say NO!
A.)I find it satisfying in reproducing a car to exact standards IE restamping components and fake paperwork.
please dont be surprized that it can be done.you know whats going on....i'm just trying to educate the possible buyers that such practices exist....not how to do them....if they want to know how, they can find out on the net...
as a matter of fact.you can find out how to make weapons of mass destruction.did you realize that?
as far as keeping the crooks in bussiness mine was just one transaction,but i see your point.
perhaps i created more interest for others to do the same and possibly this may lead to more transactions.this is a unfortuanate bi-product that i don't like.. .....
the main focus is educating againsed potential forgery of high dollar vehicles...making forged documents far less effective in the long run.
4.)years from now when we are all dead and this internet fad dies down (sorry Al Gore) someone will try to pass all these bogus cars with docs that were put together by "just for show" criminals as real cars.
so what have you done for this hobby lately?
A.)i will have educated againsed such behavior,so hopefully i have done alot for this hobby.
if a buyer does his homework before his purchase,fake docs will be uneffective.
i'm almost like the messenger.please don't kill me!
