I saw that Friday and posted it over on the Chevelle site. People seemed surprised I had never seen the ad before and said &quot;Jim Bo's been selling them for years&quot;. I don't understand why eBay allows fake identification like POPs, buildsheets, etc to be advertised and sold there. I suppose vin tags are next. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

Technically, nothing besides the VIN tag is illegal. Although it ought to be.

And the seller is none other than Bill Clemens formerly of Chevycraft in beautiful downtown (maybe not quite downtown) Lubbock, Texas. Didn't Bill &quot;find&quot; Buddy Holly's '58 Impala in a junkyard, or bought it from a friend of a friend who found it in a junkyard? And didn't he discover a one of &quot;X&quot; L89 headed 1970 <span style="text-decoration: underline">LS6</span> Chevelle (wanna bet it came with a &quot;proper&quot; Protect-O-Plate)? And...And...And...forget it. What more can I say?

It comes down to the buyer educating themselves on things like this before buying a vehicle, as I don't see the sale of this stuff ending anytime soon. I don't care how good a reproduction is, there are always ways to prove the authenticity of real items and disprove the fakes.

I agree...................That's why &quot;Documented&quot; history is so important to really validate these rare cars that magically appear........

Any and all of Bill Clemens P-O-Ps are easily and quickly detectable under scrutiny. He has been in the Corvette game a long time. If you know what to look for, it takes only a minute.

I think there is some confusion in this topic..
Bill Clement was infamous for among other things,the B/J Buddy Holly '58 &amp; the Al.Head LS-6 Chevelle @ChevyCraft in Lubbock Tex.
Jim Clemens is the ebay seller being discussed here in Florida.
They are not related..

Thanks for clearing it up, Rick. I meant Bill Clement in my previous post, but, it would apply to both. I have nothing against either and have purchased some great literature from Jim over the years. I think his P-O-P service is great and I bought one from him in the past because it is a deduction if you don't have one for NCRS judging. Thing is, they <span style="font-style: italic">ain't gonna</span> fool anyone that knows what to look for and that's a good thing.
