You know it Paul but worse may be how bogus paper touted as genuine also raises other questions?
Looks like they sidestepped eBay on the deal too...

Shouldn’t you tell him if you know the docs are fake ?

That's not cool, Paul!

Too late to save the guy anyway so why burst his happy buyer bubble now?
He'll probably Google the Vin and land here at some point...whether he wants to believe the realities then or not.
Again, repo docs presented as genuine often raise other concerns that could be more serious than the hokey paperwork itself.

I think you are missing the last "2".

So Paul, someone on the Corvette forum asked why no charge for leather. Just curious. Is that one of the reasons (I am sure there are others) why you know it is fake?

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
When you own a car with reproduction docs for your enjoyment,the day you sell it,tear them in up front of the new buyer and throw them in your own garbage can.
That way you can now be disconnected with them as ever being presented as real in the future,and the new buyer has to order new repro docs and will help keep the repro doc guys in business.
Like Paul.

WOW. I've seen this happen too many times. There is a guy on FB who sells fake documents identical to the ones posted by buyer of the '67 Corvette. It is fraud. Any time I see a red '67 BBC convertible with side pipes and claimed leather interior I cringed because I'm fearful the car may also have a reproduction trim tag. That is my emotion here - not fact.

The moderators of the Corvette Forum are puppets for a marketing company who own the site. They are not car guys, they are revenue seeking employees following bylaws made during round tables. Paul, don't take it personally - I know wonderful hobbyists who have been subjected to the unfair treatment on the CF. Two of which are prominent members here...
