Worst fake you have ever seen?

There is a Hugger Orange rallysport '69 Yenko Camaro with console in central Or. The sad thing about this car is, as the story goes, the guy actually paid COPO price and thinks and shows it as" real". I felt sorry for the guy and did not tell him!

I saw a ZL-1 at the AC show that had a Los Angeles Plant vin #.

I can only speak for the fake Yenko Novas, the majority of them are '71 or '72's!! I figure the least a cloner can do is start with the correct year. It really looks bad to see the charcoal canister, trunk can, different jack location, dash bezel, parking lights..... Also, most of them are painted a non-Yenko color, have buckets and consoles, 10 bolt rears ect..... At least they are easy to spot!!

Here in the land down under the line between fake and real is very fuzzy. We have scores of Mach mustangs including heaps of 1969 302 windsors and that very rare car the Mach 1 convertible. We once had advertised a rare 1968 Camaro SS327, a 1971 Cuda AAR, 428CJ Mustangs packing their original 390s, and a host of 435 and L-88 Vettes a 1968 440 Roadrunner, a 1968 Talledaga, and my favourite not one but two 1966 L-88 Vettes.
AND all these cars are owned by experts in their field in the hobby. Probably why my last US car is up for sale. Oh forgot we have two 1969 Yenkos and another Zl-1 (not Janes) Hey its got stripes its got to be real.

Have to agree with you there GMH454, guess the problem down here is there are not enough people down here who truely do know what they're talking about. And because of the lack of expertise it is easier for these sharks to rip off the unsuspecting.

I remember about 5 years ago a 1971 `Cuda that was supposed to be a numbers matching 440 six pack Shaker car being sold here in Perth for about $40K. A few weeks later the new owner decoded the VIN and fender tag only to find out it was simply a 340 car.
That car was then shipped to Queensland to try and off load it...

Very annoying to hear stories like that because the problems can so easily be avoided.

I actually have no problems with faker cars, so long as the owners make it clear to everyone that it is a clone, both at shows and when in comes time to sell.
