Does he have a name? Or is he just a well known cloner?

Christi Lee said it had the correct CE block in it when the car was featured, before it went over the block.

Prior to last week,it sold for 88K in 2015 at B-J Scottsdale as an LS-6 too.
Perpetuate a lie long enough and it soon becomes acceptable?

Heard Jerry M. certified it,but was that as a real original LS-6 or just as an 1970 Chevelle Super Sport?

clearly, the new owner was not interested in doing any form of Research before buying this car as its apparent from this post., it's not a CIA Secret that this car is a clone. Makes ya wonder when are buyers going to stop being lazy and do an ounce of due diligence??

I do hate these scumbags who are passing these cars off as real but come on people.... Smart enough to have made such a good living to afford a $125K car but too Stupid to make some calls

It's just sad we have dishonest people cloning these cars. I've been collecting petroleum items for 30+ years and the amount of fake signs being produced is unreal and out of control. It almost takes the fun out of the hobby.

I agree, people who clone cars in the name of $$ are pure scum that ruin it for those that have the real deal. As for the buyers, in most cases it has been my experience at least with Corvettes, that they would rather buy the car first then ask about it later which makes no sense. My theory is that most of these guys are very successful and are not used to having someone tell them what to do.

This is also why so many of them crash their private planes. They don't think the laws of physics apply to them either.

If there was a clone registry, it would probably have more entries than the 'legit' registry.
