This reminds me of the '69 Camaro that the tags were removed from a Z or SS body and put on a different car that went thru an auction at a very high price. Somehow, and I have a dim recall, it was determined the car was fake and the tags/title were bought from an individual that buried the original body on his property and was dug up.
This was quite a few years ago...8-12 ?? I think in the hay day of these cars becoming "investment" material and all sorts of "shenanigans" were going on. Getting old and losing timeline recall sucks.

We all need to be careful when we post information. The thread became confusing when post #4 referenced another totally different car sold at the Midwest Car Exchange. In fact I was under the impression they were the same cars.

The bottom line the car being sold at Mecum this weekend has a questionable past as outlined by Ken Boje (see his subsequent post detailing discrepancies note in his 2008 ownership/inspection). The claim of car of being rebodied and fake trim tag are noted by a recent inspection by Jerry M. As with any car purchase do your homework.

I updated to clarify that there were inspections performed by both Ken Boje and Jerry M. at different times.
