It may seem like you're risking the deal of a lifetime holding off on buying a car for a day or two, but that's not always the case.

This is exactly right.. The reality of all this is the buyer has to do the work.. All we as hobbyist can do is support the ones that ask and continue to expose the ones that pop up. As long as greed and ignorance are in the equation there is nothing more ultimately we can do.

You only put the watermark on the back ? Couldn't I just copy the front and then there would be no watermark on the back ?

i dont see why the guy needed those fake documents for a 390 horse car. Was it a small block car originally? a 390 isnt exactly a rare car. Like over 5000 production. Whats was the point ? Yes original docs are great. but for a 390 ??

Actually 390 and 435 production were virtually the same, 3,832 vs 3,754.

That would be great if everyone was honest.. But that is not the case. What happens if you die unexpectedly? Will your wife and/or kids know that fake docs are to be destroyed? What about the other guy that has the same thoughts as you? Eventually somewhere down the road this is gonna happen.. This is EXACTLY why I stated what I did previously.. I'll quote it for the lazy that do not want to go back..

The argument being discussed here will never end. Just like politics..
