***WARNING*** 69 RS Z/28 on Ebay

Charlie, Your friend bought the car? How does it look? It is close to my VIN 547891.

American Classix is Alan Stanton. He has a nice website: www.americanclassix.net.

There's no mention on the website about expertise authenticating Camaros but he has several classic and musclecars listed for sale.

He has a nice 68 Camaro for sale. Here are a couple of pics of that car's "numbers". I'll let you make your own conclusions as to integrity and/or restoration skills:





I'm with Hylton on this one: "Bullsh!t".

Hey Denis, I see what you mean. There is something fishy about this car. HMM I think I got it....No fan caution sticker. Thats it!

As a previous owner of that car(Nov 02 to April 04) I can say that there was a big block in it while I owned the car and that the original block to the car was definitely nowhere to be found . So it is very surprising that the numbers now are matching.As to the "29 000 original miles" the odometer showed 28 545 miles when I bought it but judging by the condition of the car I would have been more inclined to think that it was the second turn around for the odometer. So nobody knows for sure if it is one way or the other. Yes, my car's v.i.n. was 124379N545561.
Hopefully this helps.

I am happy to report that the last few bidders have retracted their bids and the bid now stands at 62,000 from 70,000 a few hours ago. I am still asking Jimmy to be a man and end the auction or replace it with a more honest description of the car.

Yes. Along with a more accurate mileage description and the fact that this may not necessarily be the original drivetrain. Heck when I looked at it, there was a 10 bolt under it. Auction sounds like it has been sitting in someone's garage unmolested for 35 years.

I would sure like to see and hear how this car was reunited with its original engine AND transmission. Someone found two needles in the haystack, or maybe they were in separate haystacks.

Can't believe the hack job on that 68. Those Ace Hardware rivets are a scream. And the restamped engine!! Pretty bad.

Thanks to Hylton for having the stones to come forward with this info, and thanks to the previous owner for posting.

Jimmy: You may be an honest guy that has simply been mislead by others. Obviously Hylton does not think so, and he is certainly entitled to that opinion. A word to the wise here. A lot of guys think they can intentionally misrepresent original miles on a car if it is over 10 years old. Not saying you are intentionally doing so, but sure looks like you have a good reason to investigate further. Just because the federal odometer disclosure law does not apply to cars over 10 years old, doesn't mean that common law fraud does not apply. Just ask that St. Louis classic car dealer. They were sued (successfully) for fraud on a misrepresented classic with a rolled back odometer.

Food for thought.
