just passed on an original 70 L78 Nova with the exact same color and Vinyl top, pretty rare in Nova circles, especially L78's

I passed on this car last year at $75K because of the auto tranny and granny colors Remember Rick (SS427)???

Seriously though, I know the eBay pic will eventually die out and most likely the seller's link to it too, but will the posted shot of the genuine build sheet stay alive here?.
Just concerned as usual with the crooksters and their easy bake ovens of bogus documents as we certainly don't want to be the ones helping them fine tune their craft!.

Peter,
I am assuming you were directing that at my posting of the build sheet. Not that I mind that you bring that up but seriously I think some of us are getting a little paranoid.

This sheet was on ebay and I don't think my posting of it will teach a whole lot of fakers out there as it is readily available to those who want to abuse it. There are obviously exceptions to that such as posting Dana, Yenko or Baldwin documents as an example since those are very limited.

I agree whole hardily that we should not tell people what is specifically wrong with a fake build sheet but posting the sheet or explaining the Brass Hat/Courtesy car is going to far and just hurting the ones that would like to learn more about these cars. If we do that then I think Marlin would have nothing to do with all the research that he has provided us. At what point will we not divulge any information at all about a car or it's history for fear of the people that will abuse it? Like a burglar, if they want in your house they WILL get in. We just need to make it a little harder.

I am only responding to the general concern and not directing it back at you as you were only voicing your concerns, I just think if this keeps up we might as well stop discussing most of the information we divulge here. If the general population disagrees with me then one of the moderators should remove it.

Rick,

I wasn't criticizing you for your posting, just expressing the concern as I had noted..

Your response was nicely put also the mention of the easily available documents compared to the more uncommon ones does make perfect sense..

I enjoy these postings and learning too also certainly don't want any of it to stop either...it's just I've been paying more attention lately w/ the ways the crooks have been spending their time 'documenting' their cars also to the forgery experts that have evolved to provide the bogus paperwork etc so am perhaps becoming a little over protective?.

Peter,
I in no way took that wrong. What are we if we cannot voice our opinions?

Marlin, thanks for asking It's been a real struggle now that I am on this new therapy that my wife found for me. It involves her taking the Lion's share of my "Car Fund" and buying a new house, but leaving me just enough for a nice cruise night car. Then she takes me to the "Decor Center" where the builder gets her to take another slice of the "Car Fund" for "upgrades" we just "have to have". It's been difficult, but I think it ends in March when we take possesion I'm trying very hard to at least get an '03 or '04 Z06 in the garage before she takes any more!
