Trim Tag for Sale

[Mark_C]

It's in mint condition because its never been on a car. It was probably a coke can last year, its a fake tag. As to why someone would need it, thats easy, it will add 20K to your 307 coupe when you sell it as an original numbers matching Z28 on Ebay.

Your right, one day it will end up on a nice car and someone will pay big $$$$ for it. Doesn't seem right. Well it's a good thing I've got the POP to prove mine is what it is.

I wouldn't count on it... POP's are being sold and aged every day now.. so having one isn't necessarily proof of anything.. but I know what ya mean.. I have lots of docs too. and happy for it!

Here is the funny part:

"Most of the "real" Z28's for sale on ebay and elsewhere are anything but real, so making your own project X 11 car an X77 is just doing yourself a favor. Email me with any questions. I reserve the right to sell this early so if you really want it let me know. Bidders ID is not shown to protect them from the lowlife pondscum scammers."

He is the lowlife pondscum scammer.

Bastards....wonder how they chose their body number? . With the values now and all the shenanigans going on, has the time come for some kind of new registry....the bogus registry?? . It would surely become a contraversial one but it would be nice to help keep track of known bogus and maybe even questionable Vins, trim tags, restamps, build sheets etc??? . As much as this phoney tag guy is keeping the buyers secret, this tag could be filed by body number and the info accessible to the true enthusist??? ~ Pete

Anything stamped with General Motors Corp Certifies.... is suppose to be illegal if restamped. Just like the restoration places that remake parts under the GM name need permission to do so. So what's up on these body tags? Hmm, I'd lock these people up if I was GM for a start so they can meet Bubba and the boys.

Great point Mark! . If they did do something, maybe it would become the way things went after the trademark crackdown on aftermarket suppliers....same stuff just available through your dealer or others but w/ GM getting a cut?? ~ Pete

Some where out there someone may have the real tag on their car.
By keeping a registry of fake body numbers, how would you protect the innocent owner of the "borrowed" body number?

It is almost like identity theft.
Wouldn't be right to publish a list of bogus body tags by number.
You really should have the VIN of the phoney car also.
That info really should be compiled by the CRG, and kept private.
They can verify if you ask.

Pretty sure Jonesy is keeping a file on all the fake tags spotted, as well as a list of all the real tags that are separated from the original cars. At least the ones that show up for sale on ebay, or are brought to his attention from elsewhere on the net.

I know that Mark C. at CRG points out several a week, but not sure if he is keeping a database.
