You sure need to employ or have someone with knowledge inspect almost each and every "high end" car nowadays. The crooks are everywhere.

I call it inexpensive insurance. I once inspected a $140K LS6 for a customer and determined it to be a fraud in about 15 minutes of inspection time. I apologized to the buyer that he spent a lot of money only to find out immediately that it was a fake. His response was that I did not cost him money but rather that I saved him $140,000. I now have a different attitude about it.

Buyer's were happy to pay the small fee compared to the whole fee of the mega buck car. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Yep, x3!
Recently, it's almost as if you must first conclude that all is fake and the prove to the opposite!

It's on eBay now: I wrote to him and told him the window sticker, car shipper and build sheet are all repros, and he sent me back a very nasty note telling me he had all the docs reviewed by the best Chevelle people in the business and I didn't know what I was talking about. I feel bad for all the bidders that don't know better.......

If the wife is still at that address, and someone is obsessed with getting this car, it may be worth trying to reach her and get confirmation of the car did exist and maybe she has pictures or something else on it. Then that could help vindicate the POP may be real.
