Have you given all the information on the car to CRG to document? If you know the history of the car and it's gone, in my opinion, I can't see why you would want to sell the trim tag to give somebody the chance to build a fake COPO and tyr tp pawn the car off on some unsuspecting person in the future. If you're only looking to get $150 for it, but there's a chance somebody could be scammed out of thousands of dollars then I don't see the reason for selling it. I'm not bashing your or your trim tag but I don't see the reason for selling it.

Jason,
I don't see any bashing of your ad at all on this thread. But do take off the Caps Lock. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

The #'s support what you're saying. Not sure what a tag will do anyone without the VIN plate...... I have to agree with Jeff, I don't see the point in selling it.

Out of curiosity, what trans was in the car originally, auto or manual? Stripped car or did it have some options?

I'm confused on the red ZL1. There were only 2 red ones, and neither was sold by Berger and neither are in FL. The easy answer is maybe it's red now, but wasn't originally? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Feel free to email me off-line at [email protected] if you want.

JASON...Berger only sold one ZL1, it wasn't Red and it is still around. You can go to Copo.com and look at the list to verify that Berger only sold one. Maybe your Friend bought Iron 427 COPOS from Berger ? We know D Bridges has one red ZL1 and the other one is now in Canada.

One quick reference in regards to copying a trim tag and VIN. A VIN tag cannot and will not be reproduced (it's considered a felony and punishable by law). To reproduce a trim tag, an impression of the reverse side of the actual trim tag must be supplied. The person who makes the repro is required to either return that slip of paper with the new tag or must destroy it immediately after the new tag is done. If the tag is reproduced for anyone other than the owner it is considered fraud and one can be looking at a nice lawsuit with jail time to follow. The point everyone is making to you about trim tag is that it is useless without the VIN. I would suggest you send Ed Cunneen over at the COPO Connection a email ([email protected]). Supply the VIN and trim tag info so it can be recorded into his database. Ed will post the last six numbers of the VIN and list the car as destroyed.
