I just saved somebody from a big mistake. I got a call from a Southern California Camaro collector who was all set to buy this car for $14K tomorrow morning. He decided to check with me first. Good idea on his part.

Way to go Jon! $14,000 for this 67? Crazy, crazy, crazy!
Did the California collector really think it was a "real" Z?

Yeah, he was under the impression it was real. I think he was partly mesmerized by the amount of options and also might not have known when production started on the Z's. Needless to say, I straightened him out.

P.S. I guess it has been awhile since my last post here. I'm still staying on top of things though.

When I find a 67 Z-28 to buy, I'll make sure I check you you guys first.

It's a shame eBay wont police itself better. At least they should remove the bidders ID protection from auctions, so people can warn those poor unsuspecting souls from the torment they will face from sellers like this. Sincerely Brian

Yes, but you really can't police eBay (or Barrett-Jackson or any other used car dealer), at least not 100%. Someone's going to get taken no matter what. Besides, eBay tells you in their fine print that any problems should be worked out between the seller and buyer so it's up to those of us on eBay, or anywhere else, to police things ourselves. That guy will sell that '67 as a Z/28 to someone even if he can't do it on eBay. You can't save everyone and you can't catch all the crooks. Education, vigilance, and communication are the best weapons against frauds such as this.

Way to go Jon I think that collector was calling around in a panic yesterday. I had a call from the guy that bought my L78 asking if a 7L113XXX VIN could be a '67 Z. He was calling "for a friend in CA that he had purchased a car from in the past". Glad you set him straight!
