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.

HI what is it worth now

[PeteLeathersac]

A Vin jumped car being illegal is one BIG difference!.

One thing to consider for those (most of us) who love their cars and also enjoy the fact that we can enjoy something which is a viable investment.

One of the reasons that these cars can be an investment is that the supply remains constant while the demand increases as the population increases. Now an added component is that there may be a certain natural attrition of these due to theft, fire, flood etc. which actually slowly decreses the supply. Now if cars can just be recreated by trading vins etc. and rebodies and be accepted as "the real thing" the value of the lot as a whole has just decreased. The more this practice would be accepted the less unique and "rare" these cars would be until they were worth no more than any other car.

I know this argument is somewhat simplistic and there is much more to the car thing than money, but you gotta admit it make you think

so if you see some tags for sale on PeeBait write down the numbers !!! before the pics are deleted!!!




IF YOU ARE DRIVING A CAR WITH THESE NUMBERS, ASK THE PREVIOUS OWNER WHY THE TAGS WERE OFF!!
(I'm no 69 expert and don't know what these tags are from.)
