I think if Bergy makes a case to the state that this is truely most of the original car the VIN tag is riveted to, he may get to keep the original VIN. I think all this has to happen before they inspect the car, ofcourse. I think that is why he is investing in the complete paper trail and contacting real people to back it up that can testify in court if need be. We are talking about a car that can be worth $250K so I don't see any issue seeing a court case in this cars future.

Some experts in the Camaro field would have to say that the dash vin was never removed (so original paint better be present), and someone would have to say some of the original firewall is remaining. Lots of work ahead (and lots of money). IF the state would judge the car is original, then heck maybe he could then replace part of the firewall that is not original to the car and call it a day (removing traces of another car's firewall). I see that as the best outcome.

Some experts would have to get a lot of money to authenticate this eBay Yenko the more I think about it, as their reputation and liability is always at risk. I do wonder how Jerry M backs up his authentications as he was innocently involved in the green Z envelop car. If Bergy is on the path I think he is on, he has to be prepared to shell out a lot of money to make his odds good on this.
