Caveat Emptor...tag swap?

[William]

Another NOR/VN swap?

124379N605034

Reported VIN is for a Camaro built at the Norwood, OH plant on or about February 27, 1969

Body tag is from a Camaro built at the Van Nuys, CA plant on or about January 9, 1969.

One or both tags may not be original to the car; hidden VINs may not match.

Good catch William, but the VIN in the auction pics is 124379N605034. Dash top has been replaced of course.

Uncle Dave's Auto services are located in Memphis TN and specializes in Honda's and Acura's, the Camaro in Auction link is located in Dallas Tx. The ebay user has a (0) rating. Hmm.

They have two other 69 Camaros Auctions in Dallas both with VINs in replaced dash tops.

Caveat Emptor indeed!

Still a Norwood VIN and a VN body tag.

I believe this is being discussed here:

I asked the "seller" why it had a VIN from a Norwood car and a trim tag from a VN car.
His response was "It’s for a different vehicle photo on the listing to show I’m real." Whatever that means. I then asked for the vin from the car he was selling.

He indicated it was 124379L516141.

Turns out car 124379L516141 is for sale in Sherman TX by "PC Investments" listed with Hemmings. Same car. Even some of the same pics.

Also listed by PC Investments on CL in Memphis.

I reported all of this to ebay.

Not sure if PC Investments is also a scam seller.

At least one pic looks to be doctored a bit.
