Your right about Canadian Documented cars.The nearly wrote the book on How it should be done.Although they do still have their fair share of scammers.
Years ago,I was going to buy a Full Rotiserrie restored 1970 LS6 Chevelle Convertible,in my Favorite Color,Code#50 Gobi Biege,with white interior,on the West coast of Canada.It was Built in Baltimore,and then shipped to Canada.All the Part numbers and Date codes were in line with this Chevelle,as was the VIN# stamped on the block.The "Real McCoy".
After talking to the owner for several hours on the phone,and receiving numerous pictures & papers in the mail,I was preparing to board a plane and cement the deal.At that same time I had heard of Vintage Vehicle Services(George Z.),so thought I would contact them just to be sure.I gave George the VIN#,and 2 hours later he calls me Back,saying this particular chevelle,was sold new in 1970 as a 307 Malibu on the East side of Canada,and Faxed me the dealer destination & options it was originally delivered with.I was stunned,not to mentiion a few other feelings.I quickly called the seller,and told him the deal was off,& that I wanted my Deposit back.He agreed and apologized,and did come through on his word of refunding all my time & money vested.He too called Vintage Vehicle Services for the same info after me,as he too was Taken from the man that sold this Car to him,and was the one restoring it in the pictures in Canada.He took that SOB to court & won,although I hear he is standing in line waiting to get full compensation from the man that sold him that Chevelle.I watch the Western state auctions to see if this original 307,Now LS6 pops up again,as I have it's VIN# & Cowl tag info.,& 25 pix of it during the restoration.
