pretty sure I read on the closed thread he said he checked his old copied paperwork with the numbers posted at the auction and they were the same...I may be having a senior moment but that's what I recall reading.

I remember seeing what looked like a Montana plate in the old picture, too. They were showing that old picture to back up the fact that the car had both the RS emblem and the Z28 emblem on the grille.

When we judged the car at Carlisle the owner showed us the picture of the car when it was supposedly brought home from the dealer. The picture was dated a year later and I doubt that was mentioned during the auction.

If the piece of metal sold on ebay is the VIN under the cowl and that piece of metal containing the VIN is on the car sold this weekend and the trim plate sold on ebay also matches the VIN of the car sold this weekend then that car needs to be impounded before it leaves Vegas and NHP needs to be brought in. Just follow the piece of metal with the VIN on it. Whatever car it is currently on has been used to perpetuate a fraud and whomever welded that piece of metal with the VIN on it to the car has changed the identity of a car.
Geez, does anyone know if BJ has this information? Is anyone certain they have the correct VIN and lot number of the car sold this weekend? I will make some calls today? Thanks.

I am sure Mr. Pratte has been informed about this topic and will no doubt be asking BJ to make this go away. I am sure the car will show up at another auction soon or on Ebay.
He has madea lot of purchases with BJ and they will not want him to go away mad.

If the allegations are true the car needs to be destroyed its not a clone or tribute but if true a fake. If this information is true someone else shouldn't have to go through this and may not have Ron's clout to resolve this? If its in Arizona the highway patrol needs to be notified. BJ or Ron if he is the buyer should ensure this car is destroyed for the good of the industry.

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.
