Guy's this car is going to auction next week about 1 hr from me , so I think I'll go up and see, but is the final verdict "Re-Creation " ? It sure appears to me that it is , and it's even had the TH400 swapped out for an M22 , ..same VIN 674866 ???? very strange listing, as their sure leaving the impression that this is a "Real COPO" !!! A few friends were telling me about the car today , and I though if anybody knows, it the SYC guys ! So Real or Clone ? Thx Bob

It was sold at a earlier auction as a clone so assume it is a clone. The attorneys will make money with this one. Has anyone informed the auction house that it was sold at auction as a clone ?

Here's the ad for the car in the upcoming 'Fall Finale' sale in Red Deer Alberta on Sept. 13/08..

http://www.theelectricgarage.com/auc...=25&id=221

Same 'Electric Garage' group offering the car again as previously on eBay and the way the ad is laid out suggests they know it's bogus but have intentionaly crafted the ad and wording to mislead and avoid the truth?.

So what next?.
Obviously not anyone's responsibility to do anything but here we all are knowing the truth and a week from now this car rolls across the block and most likely home w/ an excited new owner?.

Although notifying the auction group as Charley says would put them in a more liable position, could it possibly involve whoever did so in any legal mess that may follow?.
And to be clear, the car was previously offered as a recreation but not sold at the noted 2007 Palm Spring sale..

Can and should we here do more than be sure to clearly include the Vin of anything like this we do see and leave the rest to due diligence as Googling the Vin is now picking up this thread and a couple others that could point out the truth if someone bothered doing their homework first?.

Well hopefully the Electric Garage , does a stand-up job and Sells the car as a Clone or recreation, if not ,.....as Charlie said " lawyers are gonna have fun with this one " I'll let you know how it goes next week.

Funny that the ebay ad shows a 140 speedo, indicating the additional COPO 9737, but no 15" wheels. The D80 was an option, so the trim tag might not have it. Can anyone tell if this car has the bigger front swaybar, or the other F41 parts?

Wasn't there a guy in Calgary selling phoney aged documents??? On Ebay??? Maybe he supplied some for this car???
