Automotive journalist extraordinaire, the late Brock Yates once asked a prominent collector about the state of the hobby:
"Speaking of fakes, major danger areas include Corvettes, Porsches, Cobras and muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. Too many parts and pieces. You can build masterly fakes, including matching serial numbers. Unless you have absolute, iron-clad, bullet-proof histories and really know your stuff, avoid 'em like the plague."
Yates wrote that June, 1996. 23 years later, not much has changed.
