So are you saying that you know this is not a real L71?

Who did your friend sell it to?

i dont understand why people try to sell these bogus cars as the real deal.does stupidity run that high in our hobby that they think it wont be figured out by the groups that keep a tight watch on this? how do they get past the inspectors at the auctions who check them for authenticity? whoever buys this car should give the seller a good swift kick in the beans. if its a clone say its a clone who cares?some people are ridiculous!!! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/mad.gif

My friend met this guy named john wallace at barrett jackson a few years ago ,he told john he was in the market for an all orginal,1969 435 hp convert,lamans blue,they agreed to a price of 75,000 for this born with numbers matching car,sent the car up here to alaska, withen minutes of looking at the car it was apparent the engines was a restamp,the trim tag was a repo,so with presure of going to the cops for fraud and theft, he was able to force him to give the money back..Now i see hes calling the car numbers match again, its to bad he cant say (with a correct restamp engine) because now someone else is gonna get hurt by this sell,

Wasn't there a thread on this exact car a few months back? If I remember correctly, the trim tag was extremely bad.

Your friend agreed to pay $75,000 for a car sight unseen and didn't ask for pictures of the stampings and trim tag at least?
That seems a little trusting to me.

I remember you posted this story at the time it happened to your friend. Seems to me like the guy's name wasn't John?? Anyway, I'm glad your friend got his money back and this car is being exposed for what it is. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/naughty.gif

There is a green convert 69 435 car that sold at BJ two years ago, the seller sold it as top flight and it is and very nice, the seller never said it was a real 435 car, but the car is a fake. It went to a well known dealer and then resold. Last I knew it was in AZ. I'm sure by now it is born with.
