I like to protect the victim. The seller can sometimes be the victim too. I hope there are no hard feelings, sometimes typed words can come across as synical or sarcastic. If that is how my words came across I appologize. This was not my intent. There was a post not too long ago about the jet boat with an LS6 in it. I immediately believed the buyer got scammed and it turned out that was not the case, as he had scammed many people as a seller in the past. I just like to cover all my bases before forming an opinion.

I am sorry for my short fuse Jason and apologize. I am just constantly seeing this kind of stuff and it has really gotten out of hand. To make matters worse, people just sit back and let it happen. Not my problem so not getting involved seems to be the theme these days.

Jimmy,
Glad you have posted. I do not know who inspected the car or how much experience they have with 1969 Camaros but I can tell you that if this car is VIN number 124379N545561 then I have in fact personally inspected the car BEFORE it was restored. At that time, it had shoddy body work and did not have the original drivetrain in it. Nonetheless, the person who I was with bought this very car. He had been trying to sell it for quite a while in Toronto and finally sold it to a restorer. In addition, this car was sold on Ebay a little more than a year ago by the person that restored the car. I will be more than happy to forward you the name and phone number of one of the past owners. How can you make the claim that the car has only 29,000 original miles? Do you have written statements from past owners? The individual who sold it last year on Ebay did not make that claim.

Just because a car is inspected doesn't mean that everything is correct. Anything that is restamped can mean numbers matching. The buyer can always call Jerry MacNeish to look at it and verify the car. Hylton just made a statement buyer beware, check it out. If I was buying the car and I knew someone on this site new something about it, I would want them to share, Wouldn't you? If everything checks out then great! Car looks very nice to me but I am viewing it from the computer.

It would have been more clear if Hylton's initial post had been more like .... " If this car is VIN number 124379N545561 then I have in fact personally inspected the car BEFORE it was restored. At that time, it had shoddy body work and did not have the original drivetrain in it. Nonetheless, the person who I was with bought this very car."

Funny how Jimmy did not respond to my last post even though he read it. On the contrary, he has not sent me anything. Sam will be posting the GM docs for this car which I received from one of the owners about 5 years ago.
Jimmy, I have just found out that you had in fact, talked to the person who owned the car when it had a big block. You know very well that the car does not have 29,000 original miles on it and the originality of the car is suspect. So now I am asking you to end the auction RIGHT NOW or update your auction accordingly. Be honest about the car. If you do not by tonight, I will be emailing all high bidders with the name and phone number of the previous owner. He will be making a statement on this thread in a short while. Nothing wrong with saying that it is a restored car. It is after all a real RS Z/28 with a very very rare color/option combo. The Camaro world is small and like I have said in the past, cars always have a history!

American Classix is Alan Stanton. He has a nice website: www.americanclassix.net.
There's no mention on the website about expertise authenticating Camaros but he has several classic and musclecars listed for sale. He has a nice 68 Camaro for sale. Here are a couple of pics of that car's "numbers". I'll let you make your own conclusions as to integrity and/or restoration skills: ![]() ![]() I'm with Hylton on this one: "Bullsh!t". |
