Default Re: E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone!

COPO140, You were calling the car a rebody from the start without ever having looked at the car? You had stated you knew the deal before Bruce ever looked at the car. Where are you/Who are you getting your information from? I have seen nothing in this thread that clearly shows this is a rebody. You have stated time and time again that its a rebody with no proof that it isn't the original Yenko body from the firewall back. Are you saying because the firewall has been compromised, thats what makes it a rebody?

Yes, I had the opportunity to purchase the car prior to Bergy and did have certain parts of the car inspected although I did not personally inspect it and swiftly passed based on the information I was given. The car is a REBODY in my opinion. I believe that once the firewall is gone, the non-public vins and TT are gone, the car is a rebody. There are many here who agree with my opinion, just search the term "rebody" and read through countless threads. I also understand that the term "rebody" is subjective and opinions will differ. And btw, dont put words in my mouth. I never said the body wasn't original only that in my opinion it was not likely and if it is, where is the proof?

...woulda, shoulda, coulda? Maybe you're inspector should have looked a little longer. I'm pulling for Bergy on this one! Oh yeah and he's a paid member. Ed

An interesting thread to say the least! But my first thoughts were &quot;if the hidden VINs both don't match the VIN tag, isn't this an illegal transfer of VIN and couldn't Bergy be in danger of having the car confiscated by the authorities?&quot; I don't understand how this car could have even been legally sold in this situation, especially through Ebay. It seems like Bergy is running a huge risk by not checking the other hidden VIN immediately. It also seem like there should also need to be some photographic evidence of original and replacement VINs showing the firewall repair to ever authenticate this body as the original Yenko body. Way too many people seem to be taking sides without looking at the real legal picture going here. I hope this works out well, but I see potentially serious issues here that should be resolved quickly, not 3-6 months down the road.
