Convertible build question

[jbsides]

There are people on this board who are VERY knowledgeable on how's/why's/when's of sequence numbers, and if there is an explanation they will know what it is. But my impression is that it's been a hot market for pacers this past year, and I have seen a number of fakes locally. Some good, just with just a small mistake here or there to give it away, and some not so good. One guy out at Pomona, not so savvy on trim tags, had an "X11" on his. Another wound up at the Federal "Drug Dealers" auction with the worst faked trim tag I had ever seen on one of the worst cloning jobs I have seen. Imagine, even the Feds getting in on the action, selling a clone for big bucks as real. And it was way more phoney than clone. Now that the market has cooled off a little, people are paying more attention to what they are spending big money on, doimg more research, I think, at least around here. The fake pacers and Z's are no longer moving for stupid amounts of money by people desperate for an investment with the stock market tanked.
I just don't think I would consider buying a pacer off eBay without having a real good look at it...
