I have two build sheets with my car and over 800 photos so far of the restoration, detailed pics of the pad stamp on the L78 and CX400, etc., etc.

I am working on restoring my car to concours level (or as close as I can get) and when I do show it, I want to create the feeling of stepping back in time and seeing it as a customer would in a 1969 showroom. The repop window sticker is part of that attraction. I will always state its a repop if asked, and it should be fairly evident to anyone that its a repop as it will be so clean and new.

It is unfortunate that in our hobby there are people trying to deceive and defraud people. You absolutely must do your homework more than ever today when buying a collector car. This site is a huge help and also a great resource. For instance, when I bought this L78 Nova from a guy on this site, I looked at the photos he sent me and what he stated as fact about the car and what he thought about the car. I then asked another well known and reputable site member if he could vouch for the character of the seller. He did and that was good enough for me and the car has been everything that was represented. So, we have a pretty good thing going here when selling from member to member, that is for sure. Selling to the general public, Ebay, etc., its a different story. Case in point being that fake LS6 convertible being talked about on this site right now where it is pretty well established it started out as black paint small block car, not the red with black stripe LS6/M22 convertible it is now. I emailed the seller with questions and while he has a million so called "restoration" photos he is willing to post and share, not one of them is of the car before the restoration was underway! How does a guy take a bunch of photos of every detail as the car is being put together, but none of what he started with? Dead give away! Dead give away! (famous quote from that abduction in Cleveland).

Anyway, thats my two cents...

Hoping Triple A's health improves and I get a nice corrected repop window sticker soon.
