Default Re: ZL1 @ $410,000.00

More than likely the old firewall was incorporated into the new shell so the hidden vins would be there as well as the trim tag not having to be removed so they would be acting in accordance with the law would be my opinion.

Remember the 69 RG Z28 RS that was sold to Ron Pratt a few years ago that was claimed to be an original car and was later revealed the trim tag from the original car was removed and replaced on a donor body? The real Z was wrecked and buried but someone removed the tag and sold it to the restorer who then tried to pass it off as a real car that BJ sold for 135k approximately....how do guys feel that this is any different? This ZL1 had plenty of paperwork proving that at one time the car was real, albeit the firewall but it appears that the large majority of this ZL1 was NOS...

Thoughts?

Hi Tom...I guess my thoughts are that George let the prospective buyers know exactly what the car was...it was clearly stated on the board that was in front of the car.

Knowing George, he would have also discussed what he found out about the car AFTER he bought it....which was somehow missing info from the person he bought it from. After all...George didn't do the VIN swap. If people want to raise a stink, then go after the person who did the swap, not George.

What I find even more amazing is the BS that people pull without disclosure. Remember the Silver Deuce that had the VIN's switched and the hidden VIN on the cowl welded in? There was no disclosure on that...and it only came to light when some discovered the switch. Then folks disassociated themselves from the person responsible.

George sold his car with full disclosure of what it was...can that be said about most?
