There was a Red LS-6 Convertible for sale at NIAB recently.I was astounded by the phonyness of this car.It had all the documents forged to look original.Someone really paid to much for it as I heard it went for 80K last year.I have a copy of the buildsheet and P-O-P.Looks like a second grader made it.

If it has the little Chevy bowtie on it, a repopped POP is illegal use of the GM trademark unless it is done under license of GM Restoration Parts or a GM licensed dealer.

Has anyone seen a known phony POP and does it have the bowtie on it ? I bet they are perfect copies...figures...now all POP's will be suspect.

The repro trim tags can be seen at <A HREF="http://www.trimtags.com

I" TARGET=_blank>www.trimtags.com

I</A> couldn't find a picture of a POP. I don't know how a place like this can stay in business. It seems to me that they are assisting fraud. I know this place has been in business awhile; it seems to me that they would be closed for something by now. It must be illegal. I wish everybody was honest, it would make the hobby a lot more fun. Any opinions?

I agree. Hopefully what I read in a previous post about some GM records coming to light will become a reality. Man, this makes you think before you would plunk down alot of money for a car that could be suspect.
