68 RS Z 28 vert...with all the trimings...

I've been through every TC post on this subject, and someone is going to have to help me understand, I guess I must be kind of slow in the head. The whole concept of educating the masses on, "This car is a re-creation, but if this were real, here is what the documentation would look like" kind of eludes me. Why would someone go through all that trouble and expense just to help his fellow enthusiasts understand what a fake car with fake documentation looks like? I have a car I got in over my head with. Wound up being a $75KUS resto on a car worth $35KUS. Despite the fact that it is a real BB SS, there are no docs. I guess I could dummy up a POP and buildsheet like this guy, to show how it would look if I had them, despite the fact it is real. Then I could say "I have educated you."

If it looks like a duck...

That's the general consensus...he did a great job building the car....but why go through all the trouble to make it appear real?

Just the build of the car makes it cool! There's no need for the fake stamps, fake docs, etc. We already know that this goes on...so to say that he did it to prove it could be done is kind of ludicrous.

its more about all the correct dated stuff and whamming vins on it, think about it this way...down the road some guy buys the car and knows enough to say hey lets decode this thing, and sure as chit all the dates and casting numbers line up right, wtf???..this must be some rare car worth millions??... forever there after every new owner has to be shown old threads and educated on his ride as being built in 2007 not 1968.

it would have been fine if he didnt go so far with dated stuff on the car.

This beautiful car is a 1 of Zero built. I don't think the paperwork is an issue unless you've been on another planet for the last 40 years. I'd love to own it ... because I sure wouldn't have built it ... but I'm glad he did!
