Easier yes,but for deception as well.
Not to take anything away from what great service to the hobby George Z.does,but VVS also makes it easier for the criminal person to deceive.
The vehicles VIN#,origin,options & trim are all they are documenting up there..that's it.
In this world of so many "artfully altering" a car to reflect another,it's up to the buyer to do his homework ever moreso from a car sold new or built in Canada.

Agreed. It doesn't matter where the car is built but I think the importance of finding an original drivetrain car in the US and a build sheet carrys more importance than it does in Canada with the options right on the cowl tag. I understand that a numbers matching car is always a preferance before you shell out a lot of cash but how do you verify the car is original? Not to take anything away from the many great sites dedicated to the hobby that are available but are these sites (myself included) helping people build better fakes? I find myself limiting the information that I freely post on the internet. Don't get me wrong, I would help anyone with information but I really question the intention of the recipient. Even then, what about the next owner. Will he be the one to decieve?
