And alot of you guys will NOT buy a car without paper??? A car has to stand on its own. Pays to buy a car that may be fixed up and not completely restored.

[/ QUOTE ] Exactly, I personally prefer a car with a full traceable ownership history than a car that appears out of nowhere which is fully documented. There is nothing better than talking to the original owner about a car that you own, its even better if he has some vintage pics as well. That to me is priceless.
I also think that with all of the bogus paperwork out there that the premium paid for the great unrestored cars will dramatically increase over the years IMHO.

I was able to track the complete ownership of my L78 nova and it was so cool to talk to the first owner, he had great stories and told me what dealer he bought it from. I also talked to the second owner and got great stories from him also. That makes the car priceless in my opinion.. I got the first two owners to write me a little history on the car and they signed them for me, and also got vintage pictures from when they each owned it. It will be cool to show off that stuff at shows. That to me is priceless..

2 words that mean more than any paper work to me.

OWNER HISTORY

What this guy is doing is destructive on so many levels. It is hard to make a credible argument that he produces them for any other reason other than to facilitate an act of fraud.

What can you do?

I have ALWAYS said it and so does Quick Bowtie....OWNER HISTORY.

Every car has a history, there are no two ways around it. The seller purchaser from somebody who purchased it from somebody and so on and so forth.

Ask the vender about the history, he/she will/should have previous owners names, addresses and phone numbers. Take the time to investigate. If the seller does not have it, run for the hills!

I hate to say it, I know there are way too many cars out there with amazing paperwork. How is that possible ALL of the time? I have owned a lot of muscle cars in my time and very few of them ever came with any paperwork. Let alone the extensive paperwork that comes with so many vehicles today.

I will repeat it again, Owner History. It does not lie.

It is the combination of all the elements discussed here, as well as a few others, which should be considered in order to make a decision. Some of the decisions may be easier than others. Anyone using just one of the aspects discussed as their sole criteria, may be in for a big disappointment.

So far I"ve always put my faith in GM Canada docs, but yes owner history is priceless. And so are many other ideas in this discussion.
