It comes down to the buyer educating themselves on things like this before buying a vehicle, as I don't see the sale of this stuff ending anytime soon. I don't care how good a reproduction is, there are always ways to prove the authenticity of real items and disprove the fakes.

I agree...................That's why &quot;Documented&quot; history is so important to really validate these rare cars that magically appear........

Any and all of Bill Clemens P-O-Ps are easily and quickly detectable under scrutiny. He has been in the Corvette game a long time. If you know what to look for, it takes only a minute.

I think there is some confusion in this topic..
Bill Clement was infamous for among other things,the B/J Buddy Holly '58 &amp; the Al.Head LS-6 Chevelle @ChevyCraft in Lubbock Tex.
Jim Clemens is the ebay seller being discussed here in Florida.
They are not related..

Thanks for clearing it up, Rick. I meant Bill Clement in my previous post, but, it would apply to both. I have nothing against either and have purchased some great literature from Jim over the years. I think his P-O-P service is great and I bought one from him in the past because it is a deduction if you don't have one for NCRS judging. Thing is, they <span style="font-style: italic">ain't gonna</span> fool anyone that knows what to look for and that's a good thing.

Never understood why the NCRS is OK with fake POP's and build sheets and re-stamps. In fact it seems like it is encouraged. Oh well. Some things never change.
