I inquired about the Black COPO Chevelle when it was for sale on this site. Ed was very up front that the car was missing the hidden VINs and a donor was used.

I DON'T GET IT? Two people post that EdC, warned them of a rebody., and yet previous posts tell a different story that EdC was involved with FRAUD. Which is it, is EdC a honest reputable man that accidently certified a few cars by mistake or did he outright represent cars that he knew were faked?

Make that three, a friend of mine inquired about that car and was given a honest assesment as well. Ed doesnt get the benefit of the doubt like alot of others. If something is currently in litigation, how can you claim now to know who did what,or who was told what ?

My earlier post #322811 only refers to the black COPO Chevelle. Several months ago, while sitting in the front seat of my truck, Ed personally told me the guy he recently sold the Chevelle to had asked for a full refund soon after receiving the car because he claimed to be unaware of the rebody/donor situation when he bought the car from Ed. Ed went on to tell me that he intended to refund the buyer the purchase money, even though he claimed to have previously told the buyer the Chevelle was a rebody. Ed told me he didn't want any further hassle or legal problems regarding the he-said, she-said situation the deal had become and therefore decided to refund the money and take the car back. Ed offered the Chevelle for $xxxxx to me at that time and was emphatic about describing the Chevelle to me as being a rebody.

Once again...I'm only referring to the black COPO Chevelle. I have no comment on the Deuce Nova, Yenko Nova or the Yenko Camaro that were mentioned earlier in this thread. Nor do I have any knowledge of any litigation regarding any of the cars discussed in this thread.

Thanks SS for your comments regarding my black COPO Chevelle. For the record, this Chevelle was restored using the car's original A pillars and dash, along with other original parts. Call it a "rear-clip" or a rebody, I don't much care. There are plenty of old race cars that have gone through the same treatment. I have pictures of the complete restoration I will bring to Chevy-Vette Fest in April. This car was never misrepresented by me to anyone. It is what it is. And I intend to enjoy it.

Sad.

My recommendation for anyone selling a rebody, clone, tribute and or fake, when you sell it put that information in writing. Have the buyer sign it and hold on to it. These car tend to grow in documentation and pedigree as they are sold and resold.

To the crooks, beware because the level of knowledgeable enthusiast is growing and the advent of the internet and sharing information makes it almost impossible to hide.

As has been stated previously, this site has uncovered many questionable/fake cars. This is a critical element if we are to keep this hobby honest and credible.

Amen Steve! Could not have said it any better.

Steve is right on, that way when a car like these come to light you don't have to 'spin' the story.

It sure is admirable of someone to come on here and speak the truth.

What is the story with this?

Read the prior posts, it's hard to 'spin' this one.
