Here is the funny part:

"Most of the "real" Z28's for sale on ebay and elsewhere are anything but real, so making your own project X 11 car an X77 is just doing yourself a favor. Email me with any questions. I reserve the right to sell this early so if you really want it let me know. Bidders ID is not shown to protect them from the lowlife pondscum scammers."

He is the lowlife pondscum scammer.

Some where out there someone may have the real tag on their car.
By keeping a registry of fake body numbers, how would you protect the innocent owner of the "borrowed" body number?

It is almost like identity theft.
Wouldn't be right to publish a list of bogus body tags by number.
You really should have the VIN of the phoney car also.
That info really should be compiled by the CRG, and kept private.
They can verify if you ask.

Pretty sure Jonesy is keeping a file on all the fake tags spotted, as well as a list of all the real tags that are separated from the original cars. At least the ones that show up for sale on ebay, or are brought to his attention from elsewhere on the net.

I know that Mark C. at CRG points out several a week, but not sure if he is keeping a database.

I've got a couple of thousand images, mostly 67 and 69's real and fake, attached to cars and loose.

Just curious, have you ever run across "twins" ie a real and a fake with the same BDY number?

Yep, couple of times, including one recently that was almost indistiguishable (sp?) from a real tag. Went from an X11 to an X33. Theres a new tag maker in the game.

If theres a tag image (or engine stamp, or transmission stamp, etc) out there and I find it, I keep a copy of it.

Boy, am I sorry to hear that. "Almost", but I surmise you can still find some clues? Please say yes. The day they get these perfect..... well, it will be a sad day indeed.

On Ebay last week, a trim tag, along with the area around it was cut off the fire wall of a Z's busted up, rotted body. It sold for $1750. bucks!!!!! A PIECE OF TIN!!!!!
