Mr Pratte should ask the seller to come down, remove the fender & heater box to check the 2nd vin and prove it's real or not. Heck, why not fly the previous owner, Gary, down at the same time. If it proves to be rebodied, then the seller can take it back home with him & pay BJ both commissions.

If the allegations are indeed true, nothing says the fraudster wasn't detailed enough to include a matching Vin in both hidden locations..

What makes this CAR any different from an extremely rusty shell that has had 95% of the metal replaced in order to "save" it. Yes the car has been "vin swapped" and the sellers have never disclosed this. What is the difference between swapping plates on a 6 cyl rust free body and a hidden vin to save a very rare and valuable car and replacing 95% of the metal on the real car? I do not see a difference whatsoever.

there is a HUGE difference when it is touted as being "original", at least IMHO

Thats the thing, it was sold as original. One of the most documented original Zs out there. Personally I wouldnt care if it was rebodied. Choosing between a car with 95% Chinese repro metal and 5% (cowl where tags are attached) real and one thats been rebodied with a shell made by GM, Ill take the rebody. So tell me what one is more real.
