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..

What this guy is doing is destructive on so many levels. It is hard to make a credible argument that he produces them for any other reason other than to facilitate an act of fraud.
