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.

Well guys I am the culprit that thought the BUYER of the BOAT with the LS6 Was getting dumped on and made a comment like pay the seller a visit! Break his leg! ETC .I sure was wrong about those statements! so from now on I am going to be VERY careful what I say.But this thread sure makes you stop and think about this car!! especially with all the GOOD information HYLTON brought forward.

Im guessing by now that Jimmy isnt going to respond any more. Thats fine, none of this really matters to me at all, but interesting reading.

The part of the ad that jumped out to me was the $90K appraisal. I know that anyone can put any number on a car's value, but to put that number on that car (even without knowing the info presented in this thread) with a straight face is beyond me. Just how it goes these days, I guess.

Is this car sold new in Canada with GM of Canada docs? I owned the twin to this car other than the power windows back in 1971. Bought it from a banker that was transfered from Vancouver to Toronto. Sold it in about 1974 for 3000.00 to a guy from Dunville Ontario. Car was stunning with that color combo.

Nice job Hylton!

Yes Rick , car was sold new in Montreal area and has Canadian documentation. When I bought it in 2002 it had a 10 bolt rear in it, M20 trans out of a 73 car, big block.Seller told me all floors had been replaced including trunk pan, 2 half quarters. There was not much left of original parts on the car. It's an extremely rare option combo though, rs/z28,power windows, deluxe blue int.

Great job busting another couple of obvious dupe jobs but what amazes me is how these crooksters often seem to show up w/ comments HERE....the most scary being the outright scammer a couple weeks ago who versed his text like he was from abroad? . The concern I have is how we are educating these guys on what's wrong w/ broaches, stampings, tag alpha numerics etc. and they're just going to do a better job next time? . I have no solution, just concern. ~ Pete

This thread is EXACTLY what needs to happen with suspect cars. I have no problems with clones. I have major problems with fakes and fraud. These guys need to understand they can and will get sued. What they do is illegal and immoral. Great job, Hylton!

When are these people going to learn that with the invention of the internet (Thanks Al Gore ) that the world has become an infinitely smaller place, and that there's TREMENDOUS knowledge about cars and their previous owners.
