Ebay RS/Z28

[camaromb]

$ 57,000 currently for a RS/Z28 with a fake trim tag, Ebay # 130319897295. When asked about the repro trim tag he said "its just the way he bought the car". Looks like someone is going to pay up for ??????

It looks like a pretty stand-up car to me. Why do you say the cowl tag is fake because of the X33 in November? Were you bidding on it? Ed

Mark was pointing out that the car has a fake trim tag for the reason you point out (D80, X33)and others. The point is not whether HE was bidding on it, rather other may without realizing this fact. Whether the car is real can't be determined unless fully inspected, however the fact that someone replaced the tag puts up a big red flag. I don't care how many superchevy shows it has won there a big ? mark.

The owner pleading ignorance is no excuse, the owner should have modified the ad or ended the auction and relisted it.

If I were selling a car on ebay and thought I was a pretty knowledgable guy about my Camaros, I would not take the word of a tire kicker sending me an email. Maybe even if someone were to send this gentleman a link to this discussion he may not choose to except the word of all the experts here.
After reserve has been met he can not alter the description. He should cancel the auction, investigate the claim, and at least contact the person he bought the car from if were so recently. JMHO

Maybe he knew about the tag and just dosen't want to lose his shirt?

From Ebay (the within 12 hour rule) If the seller's item has already received a bid/purchase or ends within 12 hours, the seller can only:
Add to the item description, add item pictures, or add a second category. (Exception: If the seller's listing already has a bid/purchase AND ends within 12 hours, the seller can't add to their description, add pictures, or add a second category.)

Cancel is the only option and the right thing to do.(JMHOA)

The sad part is that if that car isnt a Z28,and the resto is as clean as it looks{not 100% accurate but nice} the seller might loose money on the deal.Nice car for that price,fake or not.

First we don't know if the car is fake, just that the tag is. That being said the owner should pull the ad and pursue the seller he bought the car from.

Regarding the price I wouldn't spend 60K for a questionable Z in this market. Fake tag, no docs and no pics of stampings.

Another point is that this is a forum to expose questionable cars. I am not into nit picking this or that, however if the owner has been notified about the tag, he should at least verify the information provided. By doing so we may save him from a legal headache once the next owner becomes aware.

THIS AUCTION IS REAL AND IF WINNING BIDDER IS NOT TOTALLY DELIGHTED WITH THIS EXTREMELY RARE CAR THEY CAN WALK AWAY WITH NO OBLIGATION.

i hope the high bidder knows someone who will point out the tag.
