Are you able to obtain the NICB microfiche records for an open case? Maybe a way to get them for a car?

Default Re: Collector Car Fraud!!!

Hello everyone, Very interesting topic. I always try to follow a simple rule when looking to purchase, or purchasing a car. Price ratio/documents supplied- If not documents can be supplied the car should be priced and purchased as a "Clone". And the purchse price should reflect that. If the new owner later locates legal, truthfull documentation about the car, then so much the better. We all know about the "aged" build sheets from our friend B from up North, with the laser printed sheets on modern paper, as stated in previous posts, the paper can be carbon dated if in doubt. Whats $500-$1000 on a 6 figure car? Why is that all these aged build sheets have a rusty spring imprint on them????? All sheets found by individuals haven't been found carefully tucked between spring row 1 and row 6. He-He And while i'm ranting, why is it that every 1000 point, best of best yada-yada cars have a pretty dark blue ac oil filter showing on all those 47 underbody shots. My god man, can't you simply buy a couple extra filters, scuff, and spray can them gloss white? Or spring for the 28 bucks and get the Genuiene Imitation GM filter. Well anyway the moral of my story: NO LEGITIMATE DOCS=BUY AT CLONE PRICE,no matter what B.S.that uncle al's sisters-in-law told you about how it was stored at her uncles mothers house since new and she worked for the dealer that sold the car. Behind every car/owner ther is always a story, always. Later, craig--Oramac Restoratios

you can also go through the BS of flying to look at a car and makeing the buy, and when the car shows up, HU!!! wrong carb, hemi radiator is now a 318 unit,only a few digits off but there is 2000.00 diff, even the distributor and alternator, you know what i mean, your parts will be on ebay and its your word and the sellers word and he is out of state, seen this before, so even going and looking yourself might not even be enough in some cases.
