Owner history is a good thing. Like you Les, I have plenty on both my cars.

I think what causes this case to be different is that BJ may be on notice that an issue as to the cars identity exists? Or at least we are inferring that BJ knows about the problem based on the other internet forums threads? It doesn't matter now in my opinion whether classicGary is real or not it appears from this thread, paperwork with the cars VIN was sold on ebay as well as possibly the body shell which is sufficient to prompt an investigation into the cars identity I would think?

If it is true Ron Pratt bought the car if I was BJ I would be working toward resolving this since he is one of their best customers. ClassicGary and his assertions may or may not be accurate and could all be fictious but it appears the shell and paperwork were sold on ebay I would think the buyer would want this thing clearly resolved? And quickly.

Les, you mention looking for the hidden VIN under the heater box. What's to say that all the hidden VINs were not restamped?

I guess I saw a crowd of gapers and came to see what was going on. Was this the green Z that had the ss and z emblems on the front?????

I saw that car go over and was mesmerized by the color and lights etc. I remember thinking wow is that a beautiful car.

What ever happens it's a shame

James,
Your right I guess the hidden heaterbox VIN could be restamped? I was proceeding on the assumption there is some VIN somewhere on a camaro that couldn't be restamped without leaving evidence of tampering/welding some trail? Not being a camaro expert and in fact being a newbie camaro guy I leave that to the experts.

Gary posted his phone number numerous times in the original post

I did not write it down

He is a real person

there was a real sale of the items on ebay years ago

the same VIN appeared on a shell a year AFTER he sold the "memorabilia"

I would submit if thats all true, all of us in the hobby have an interest in helping to protect buyers. If the buyer is in fact Ron Pratt he is good for the hobby in that he keeps buying cars in a terrible market which helps support the value's of all our muscle cars. He seems to be an avid collector and it seems to me we want all the collectors we can get in this hobby? If he buys what later turns out to be a re-bodied car he won't be happy and may be unhappy enough to get out of the hobby? I think we need more collectors and buyer not less. In that regard if he is the buyer and if anyone can contact him I think someone should let him know what we seem to know for him to form his own opinion? I think it needs to be done immediately before the car leaves Vegas if it hasn't and before the sale proceeds are issued to the seller.
