Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
The POP was attached to the warranty book by the plant. They couldn't depend on all the dealers to do that.

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
Kurt,
You are correct, the protecto plates were glued to the warranty booklets by GM not the dealers. This is what I was trying to state, in my ramblings. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
There was a Red LS-6 Convertible for sale at NIAB recently.I was astounded by the phonyness of this car.It had all the documents forged to look original.Someone really paid to much for it as I heard it went for 80K last year.I have a copy of the buildsheet and P-O-P.Looks like a second grader made it.

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
If it has the little Chevy bowtie on it, a repopped POP is illegal use of the GM trademark unless it is done under license of GM Restoration Parts or a GM licensed dealer.

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
Has anyone seen a known phony POP and does it have the bowtie on it ? I bet they are perfect copies...figures...now all POP's will be suspect.

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
The repro trim tags can be seen at <A HREF="http://www.trimtags.com
I" TARGET=_blank>www.trimtags.com I</A> couldn't find a picture of a POP. I don't know how a place like this can stay in business. It seems to me that they are assisting fraud. I know this place has been in business awhile; it seems to me that they would be closed for something by now. It must be illegal. I wish everybody was honest, it would make the hobby a lot more fun. Any opinions? Jason

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
It's amazing, on the website they don't even try to sidestep the "numbers matching issue." They basically say, this will make your car number matching. They also say they won't change the body style on the trim tag. But I don't think they would have a problem putting X-codes, or option codes for a 67. This is all that really matters for Camaros and many other GM cars. I wouldn't be surprized if there are a couple 67' Z convertibles floating around thanks to this place. I have heard from many people that these GM documents don't exist. I sure hope they do. It will expose a lot of cars that have been misrepresented. I hope none of you guys have ended up with these cars, or god forbid, built them!

Re: Chevelle P-O-P questions
Anyone have any thoughts on what would happen to the Chevrolet collector car market should those records ever be found or made available ?
