Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
Brian,
Protecto plates have been "cloned" stamped by non factory entities for many years. They are still made to order today. It is not a criminal offence to add or change items on a new protecto plate. The info provided on the protecto plate will give you a head start on documenting your car and establishing a pedigree.

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
How will a cloned P-O-P give you a headstart on documenting or finding a pedigree ?

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
I was refering to Brain's protecto plate. I do not know if it is original or not. The info provides, Selling Dealer,customer/ address. Just this info alone provides direction on documenting the vehicle.
1) Does the dealership still exist?? Some dealerships still have original documents. 2) Is the original owner still alive and in the area? What about heirs, relatives, ect. 3) An L-78 4 speed with 4:10 and no power steering was probably not used as a local taxi cab. Look to see which race tracks are in the area and still open and seek info from them. An original protecto plate with an incorrect engine code may provide a great head start!

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
Are the re-popped P-O-P's distinguishable from originals ??? I hope so...

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
We live in a society which maintains the technology and ability to clone animals and human embryos. Do you still wonder if indistinguishable protecto plate clones are a reality?

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
I would hope there is a sharp eye out there that can tell a real from a fake...otherwise there is no real value to a POP right ? There are fake build sheets,cowl tags and POP's.....fonts,spacing,codes or something.

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
There is faux everything in the market place.
For instance; an LS6 Chevelle rag top, that started life asa 6 clyinder Pontiac Lemans hardtop. It has all of the paperwork; Even two Build sheets, protecto plate and yes all numbers match. It has everything but a chain of ownership documenting the car! If a complete car can be cloned and pass the scrutiny of National Show Judges, then certainly a protecto plate can be fauxed 100%
