I was kind of wondering the same thing Sam. What exactly does "certify" mean? Could someone explain the process?

How you doing Verne. I'm a bit confused about this too. I guess it means when you give someone money to verify and get a certificate that states "yep, you own a Camaro, Chevelle, whatever." I'm willing to do the same thing for much cheaper.

I think it falls under at the time the car is looked at it has all the correct parts and dates and a real Z,SS,LM-1, etc.

with so many bogus cars today, its money well spent if the car is nice and you dont want to have to try and prove its one way or the other when you sell .

Jerry is a expert in the camaro field he is also a judge he is able to spot a clone or a restamp and other hidden issues so if jerry looks at your car and says its a true z28 or l78 or a copo then it brings the value up as for looking at what is wrong with the car he will tell you and give you a piece of paper with what needs to be changed such as a incorrect dist or a fan he is not there to make your car worth less he just helps you restore to its original status and by using him you will not invest a lot of money into that car you thought was a z 28 but turns out to be a grandmas camaro with a 6 cyl or buy a car with a fake protecto plate or documents

I agree, having an expert in the field look at/inspect/certify your car is money well spent!!! Even more so, if you have him/her do this prior to purchase

OK,
Looks like we have a good group of cars, eight or so. Also, we plan on taking Jerry out for some Nawlins seafood, so if anyone lives close enough and wants to join us, let me know.

Isn't this the reason Ed C. is in trouble for??? Docing a car is pretty serious if it turns out to be fake later down the road... Ted

So should nobody doc a car for fear of trouble down the road??

OK,
Looks like April 4-5-6 for Jerry.

Mike,
I agree with you that it pays to have an expert inspect your car so you know what you really have or don't have. I am very pleased with the results of the recent inspection you did on my 66 Chevelle SS. Now I know what (minor) items I need to do to bring this car to a top level status. Thanks again for sharing your expertise with me and the many others in the hobby. PS you don't charge enough for what you do!
