It is truly getting to the point that you just have to assume that any collectible muscle car that you look at is fake unless proven otherwise. Particularly the solid lifter cars. Seems like there are more fakes out there than authentic cars. It burns me up too, because it dilutes the hobby and actually makes owning an original car less attractive because people are getting tired of all the work involved in vetting them to ensure authenticity. These people who are faking the cars really should serve some jail time for it.

When we bought ZL1 #4 in 1987 it was a bracket car with manual drum brakes, power steering, no docs and a 402 engine. Many other real solid lifter cars have been located in similar condition. There have been countless stories on this site and others about people searching for prior owners and locating paperwork, drivetrain components, etc.

Kurt never said it was a fake. He described the "as-found" condition of the car as of 18 years ago. A thorough inspection would reveal the truth.

Lots of good folks get burned on a rare car and never return to the hobby. That's a shame.

Even the 'experts' get taken.

The availability of shipper docs via the NCRS has given folk a starting point to try and track down missing history on a car, so not totally unexpected that some cars that were once undocumented and/or NOM may now have been reunited with docs or missing parts.
But still plenty that haven't, so proper research and inspection is always required.
