Buyer Beware of this dealer!

Hello everyone,

I just visited Future Classics about three weeks ago. As far as the orange L-89, it wasn't sold at the time. I glanced over the car quite quickly and decided to check for one thing. I felt my way around the left rear frame rail looking for the welded dual exhaust plate. I could not find one!! I then went over to see the 69 Z-28 RS (asking over $38,000). I checked for the same thing. No plate. I did see the silver ZL-1 about three or four months ago. It was a nice looking car. Maybe it's my imagination, but at the time, the majority of GM cowl tags on the high-end Camaros looked brand new. I even made the comment to my wife who was standing beside me at the time. I'm not saying that they weren't real, it merely appeared unusually clean along with some others. The gentleman who came over to help me while looking at the car, offered to show me a factory original SS BB 69 that was in the paint shop and was also for sale. After looking at the factory (X11 code) BB, I rushed out the doors without looking back.

As someone who bought a fake L-48 69 SS in 1997. I learned a valuable lesson. Fraud and dishonesty is rampant in this hobby. Especially in consignment dealerships were the liability does not fall on the dealer.
If you don't bring someone like Mr. Cuneen
or Mr. MacNiesh into the picture you could be in trouble. You have people making new cowl tags new protect-o-plates, dealer m.s.o.'s and some people go so far as to make the paperwork even look old. Just be careful. Joel ILL. Camaro Club

Paul,
Car is a clone / fake, though not for that reason.

I'm just curious to know what makes you guys "so sure" that the L89 convertable is a clone.
I couldn't tell anything from the photos. All I know is what has been written about this car in the past. It has some documentation so what gives this car away? Did someone get burned by this car before?

Thanks for the correction Kurt concerning convertibles. I never would have known had you not mentioned it. Many Thanks, Paul

The history of the car is known. It was a 327 car. Mileage is real.
