And alot of you guys will NOT buy a car without paper??? A car has to stand on its own. Pays to buy a car that may be fixed up and not completely restored.

But even then it may not help. If you've got someone that really takes their time and does their research, they can put together a car that'll fool all but maybe a handful of experts. And with the number of high-end cars I've seen laying in salvage yards and ditches missing not only the tags, but the body numbers too... well, I can't imagine how many fake cars are making the rounds out there right now.

Yes, I see many cars in the older bone yards with trim tags removed.

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly, I personally prefer a car with a full traceable ownership history than a car that appears out of nowhere which is fully documented. There is nothing better than talking to the original owner about a car that you own, its even better if he has some vintage pics as well. That to me is priceless.
I also think that with all of the bogus paperwork out there that the premium paid for the great unrestored cars will dramatically increase over the years IMHO.

I was able to track the complete ownership of my L78 nova and it was so cool to talk to the first owner, he had great stories and told me what dealer he bought it from. I also talked to the second owner and got great stories from him also. That makes the car priceless in my opinion.. I got the first two owners to write me a little history on the car and they signed them for me, and also got vintage pictures from when they each owned it. It will be cool to show off that stuff at shows. That to me is priceless..

Do you mean it is Brian Mallyon from Calgary Canada?.

Couple more things if this is the guy...

I believe Brian Mallyon is an NCRS Member in good standing..

I looked at some of his auction history a few years back and included was his purchasing of old paper w/ correct water marks etc..

Lots of great comments here as usual but what can we do?.

No, Pete. I meant that the guy with the Craigslist ads is the guy on eBay with the user ID vin-number-aged. We sent him an email pretending to be interested and he indicated he was located in Florida. He has many auctions running on Ebay currently:
