I think this thread has already got out of hand by a couple of individuals , they know who they are, the way i see it, is the owners of these fabulous rare cars have nothing to prove to anyone on this site. If you have a pocket full of money and want to buy a car of this caliber , go see it and I am sure you will get the whole story and proof on both cars , if I owned these cars i would not respond to all the wannabe car detectives with no money to purchase either of these cars,if you put your money where your mouth is, then, you would expect the owners will disclose all the information you would need to purchase such a high dollar rare car.there seems to be a few people on this site trying to get to the bottom of something for no reason ,just my opinion .

Isn't Matt the same guy that tried to sell a fake KQ rear to Helmut, last year?
![]() http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/COPO-YENK...1QQcmdZViewItem https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/showflat...true#Post198605 I wonder if he will eat the tag if it is fake? ![]() Another thought: Is the car free if it is a retag??? |

After reading this entire thread ive decided to start a trim tag caulk registry. I am contacting everyone that is selling a car on ebay and asking them for a close up of the caulk on thier trim tags. Maybe there is a relation between plants and caulk. IE California built cars may be prone to "caulk running" due to the heat,maybe in the summer months the caulk will be different than in winter months. I will setting up a tent for anyone interested in getting a caulk certificate at some local shows.

Caulk can be very complex. There was a great bit on Crank Yankers about it....

Hey Maxx did you use to bring your camaros up to Woodstock Ontario for the shows years ago. I was looking at a picture from 8 years ago of a 69 pace car and a 68 Z28 side by side. I think Mr.English owned the pace car and you had the 68 z28. Beautiful cars.

This problem is only going to get worse, i have never seen so many fake documents, on my l89 the tag was blasted and thin in a couple of spots but i never gave replacement a thought, so an explenation would be nice so these cars wouldnt be questionable every time they pop up, its like the restamped blocks and wheathered build sheets that are being made, I for one think this board is doing a service by bringing these tags to question, it could help somebody save there $$$$$

[/ QUOTE ] I can think of 225 thousand reasons to get to the bottom of it.For that kind of coin I would be asking lots of questions especially on here and especially when a whiff of smoke is in the air.With statements like "wannabee detectives with no money to purchase either of them"It seems like there is an effort to put out the flames as well as fan them??.It's a gorgeous car nonetheless but it's at the point where correctly done clones are to me becoming more attractive at a third the cost,and no questions asked. Who the heck knows where this market is headed I think the top was a year ago and certainly would not want to be a broker flooring big ticket merchandise right now..but if I was it sure makes sense to have a third basemen doing damage control-can you dig it? ![]() |

[/ QUOTE ] Why is it that every time someone points out questionable things on PUBLICLY ADVERTISED cars, there is always someone that questions how much money the people asking the questions has? Here is a news flash for you WANNABBC, there are 4500 registered users on this site...I bet a bunch of them have a "pocket full of money" and coincidentally they are probably the ones asking the questions. Just my opinion.
