I'm surprised this thread got so quiet.

I'm not. This is a real issue, and I can think of atleast one other green 69 sitting in a farmer's ditch with hidden VINs that wouldn't make a current owner too happy. But, I have discussed this with individuals here before....and no one wants to discuss this. Seems that this was a pretty common practice by some in the 80's. Is there a statute of limitations on these fraudulent acts?

I have also said before I went silent for 18 months that it is a shame that there are those out there who know about these cars and don't speak up. Everyone is quick to provide a list publicly of the VINs in certain cases....but no one wants to speak about the known VINs of cars that have "issues". I am not sure who is more fraudulent, those who produce/sell these rebodies or those who have info and don't make it known.

If I were to re-pop a x-ram manifold and sell them on eBay, people would be quick to point this activity out. Rebody a ZL-1 or Yenko....and depending on who you are, people may never hear of it.

What's the vin of the green car in the ditch?

[Charley Lillard]

If you can back up your story of a green something in a ditch, by all means post it. This thread is still here but because the interest in it has apparently run it's course or there is no new news are we going to be accused of covering up ?

If it's the same car I think it is it can be backed up!! The same guy owns another green car rebodied and a ZL-1 rebodied!!

If you bare talking about the # 27 ZL1 that is rebodied that Gary Holub owns he has been up front with people I know that he has shown his cars to. He and many others have no problem with rebodies and seem to figure they got a deal on them when they buy them cheap. We all have different opinions on the subject.

What about ZL1 number 9 (?) Wasn't that one sold at Barrett Jackson and advertised as a "Re-Body"?

Kim-- I am referring to the same green Friedley car you are thinking of, wasn't it 615356? Has that one been openly disclosed as a possible rebody? WHo owns this one now?

Charley-- I think my post was not meant to be as abrasive as it sounds even to me as I re-read it. I understand the hesitations with discussing these issues on this type of forum....and it is a shame that atleast the rumors/inuendos can't be discussed openly to have the owners put them to rest, if appropriate. Otherwise, they should be brought forward and maybe an asterisk put next to the cars in the Registry? I can vaguely remember a discussion about another 69 that was involved in a garage fire and then re-bodied....anyone remember specifics about that one?

[Kim_Howie]

Close 615704 is one I was thinking of.

[Racefan]

I was certain it was the Friedley RG car.....maybe we are talking about two different cars? I know someone who could shed light....we need the Honorable Mayor of Donohue to chime in.

[Kim_Howie]

Two diff cars.
