69 Yenko Camaro

If it's the same car I think it is it can be backed up!! The same guy owns another green car rebodied and a ZL-1 rebodied!!

If you bare talking about the # 27 ZL1 that is rebodied that Gary Holub owns he has been up front with people I know that he has shown his cars to. He and many others have no problem with rebodies and seem to figure they got a deal on them when they buy them cheap. We all have different opinions on the subject.

What about ZL1 number 9 (?) Wasn't that one sold at Barrett Jackson and advertised as a "Re-Body"?

Kim-- I am referring to the same green Friedley car you are thinking of, wasn't it 615356? Has that one been openly disclosed as a possible rebody? WHo owns this one now?

Charley-- I think my post was not meant to be as abrasive as it sounds even to me as I re-read it. I understand the hesitations with discussing these issues on this type of forum....and it is a shame that atleast the rumors/inuendos can't be discussed openly to have the owners put them to rest, if appropriate. Otherwise, they should be brought forward and maybe an asterisk put next to the cars in the Registry? I can vaguely remember a discussion about another 69 that was involved in a garage fire and then re-bodied....anyone remember specifics about that one?

[Kim_Howie]

Close 615704 is one I was thinking of.

I was certain it was the Friedley RG car.....maybe we are talking about two different cars? I know someone who could shed light....we need the Honorable Mayor of Donohue to chime in.

[Kim_Howie]

Two diff cars.

I remember the story about the one on the farm with the vin, and trim tag supposedly being sold back in the 80s I think. The last I heard was that it had been checked on, and had been crushed a few months ago. Again, this is all hearsay.
I kinda remember a discussion on a RG car, but can't quite put it together.I know one was found in a ditch in Maquoketa, and may, again may have found it's way to Marion.
I was thinking that it was FG, but between welding smoke, and paint fumes over the years, I'm lucky to remember to zip up most of the time.

If I were to re-pop a x-ram manifold and sell them on eBay, people would be quick to point this activity out. Rebody a ZL-1 or Yenko....and depending on who you are , people may never hear of it.

I don't think I follow regarding the "who you are" portion of your allegation/theory.

Are you saying you have evidence of some specific people in this hobby that own/built a fake car and there's a scheme/conspiracy hatched by some other individuals to hush it up, or even worse...profess it's authenticity [with knowledge to the contrary]? That's how I read your post, but I hope I've misinterpreted your comment above.
