Doesn't look like there are any disclaimers in this report?

It didn't fool the person who inspected it. No one would have bought that car for 40K if they had seen all 3 pages of the report.

Actually, the report says it's estimated value is 100k-120k. I see alot of minor restoration details noted, finishes/etc. but nothing in the report would indicate to me that the car itself was ever suspect...the first page seems to clarify that. I could see how a non-Camaro expert/hobbiest/collector could look at this report and feel confident he was buying a good restored car with some minor details that needed attention.

I don't see any opinion in the report as to whether any of the components are original to the car. Interesting to note that the car apparently had the wrong transmission in it according to the report, even though it was stamped correctly. Also that the car had the wrong leaf springs in it, an odd occurrence I would think for a car containing its complete and original drive train.

Excuse me as I move past the elephant in the room but, how does it have the correct numbers matching drive train when, as I understand it the progression was:

1) "too far gone" hulk with only value being the items in #2 and seemingly destroyed by accounts
2) tags, paperwork and one hidden VIN on eBay
3) tags, paperwork and one hidden VIN on hulk on eBay (maybe original hulk)
4) correct, certified, numbers matching car at restorer's shop
5) sold at BJ as #4 to a highly respected, knowlegable collector

Next question- Could the pad stamping and brooch marks have been so good that Jerry M didn't pick them up for his report?

Some people just flat out refuse too see the elephant in the room!!! That's obvious to me after reading all the threads here, CRG and Team Camaro. You have an obvious set of tags and paperwork sold on Ebay certified by "The Camaro" expert, who should have known better, if that's his business!! Now what comes into play here, is all the appraisals and certifications that a lot of people have paid dearly for. Are these certifications worth the paper they are written on? I'm sure there are many cars that are worthy of the certification, but which ones are they? Some refuse to believe the obvious and others just need to do their own research on any future purchase. I for one wouldn't spend 6 figures on this signature!

loook on the first page of jerry mc niesh report!

it say\'s

\"APPRAISAL CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY\"

I agree! how can anybody deny the car is a fake!
anybody seeing that Mc Niesh report would without any doubt think the car is real. i personally think he\\\\\\\'s now POSSIBLY liable since i dont see any disclaimers!
any he states estimated value at 100k-120k if i were the buyer such as pratt i would be highly upset at this report!

its written in favor of the car being real!

wrong tranny? why because it has a drain plug? that could have been installed,it was done back in the day.or was it a wrong casting number? omg! if it was the wrong casting number and had the correct vin stamped.this would have been a red flag any 1st grader with the knowlege would see!

I AGREE! A NUMBERS MATCHING WHITE ELEPHANT WITH A FULL CERTIFICATION FROM AN EXPERT!

NOT GOOD!

how about other cars certified by the experts? how many are real?

Ya know im just a novice when it comes to things like this. I have been following this since the beginning and it just seems strange to me that a guy with that kind of knowledge.............???????????????????????????? ??

Sounds like Jerrys Kids are gunna be very upset when their 3 page reports are going to be worthless or questionable?

Posted by Jerry on CRG...

The final report states that the car has a restoration drive train!! I have photos of the stampings to show this clearly. Not even close to correct original factory stampings. The final report also states that the car showed up on Ebay Oct 2007 as a shell. What has been posted on the Net is a rough draft report that was sent to K. Waters by me during the first week of June so he would have time to finish the car AND have time to correct the issues that I flagged incorrect for the Camaro Nationals, June 20-22, 2008. The final report was mailed out to K. Waters during the later part of June. That has not been posted. It will be posted shortly. The car was inspected on June 1, 2008.

Another note in the report:
Special Note: Gary Fitzgibbon owned car, showed up again on ebay 10/07, was in PA. Was still a shell, but it was unclear if it was the original one or not.

The three page report that is posted on the internet which is being referred to as a "rough draft", looks exactly like the three page reports that I received from him on two cars that he inspected for me. I certainly didn't pay for rough drafts and was never given anything different.
