Default Re: COPO BE rear on craigslist

If not for the "experts" (which I am by no means not one) many people would have been screwed at auctions and private sales. To my knowledge no one has ever gotten a bogus car by me though it will happen some day, I am only human. In the meantime I have saved many people hundreds of thousands of dollars by not making big mistakes.

Unlike some other inspectors, I will NOT certify a car. Reason being, if I were not an honest man I guarantee I could build a totally bogus LS6 convertible and sell it for many hundreds of thousands of dollars and no one would be the wiser. If I can do it, so can someone else so there is no way I am going to certify a car as being real because today that is nearly impossible. I will write a report with my best professional opinion on real or built but that is it. This is one of the reasons I am SO against re-manufactured or "tribute" paperwork as it will SOMEDAY get into the wrong hands. Mark it as a reproduction or make a list of VIN's public if you want to help the hobby.
