Default ***WARNING*** 69 RS Z/28 on Ebay

Guys,

Just a heads up in case some of you might be considering the purchase of the car below:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevrolet...1QQcmdZViewItem

Although I can vouch that this car is a true RS Z/28 that originally came with the options shown, the car does not have 29,000 original miles. I personally looked this car over about 4 years ago and there were signs of major body work which was of poor quality. At the time I looked at it, the car had a big block and there was no sign of ANY of the original drivetrain. It had incorrect interior which was in poor condition.

The price is up to 66,000 with no numbers being shown? Non X code car? Flat hood, short spoiler? Has the 7000 rpm tach.

How can you be sure this is the same car. That is a bold statement.

Just a guess here, but....since he looked the car over personally several years ago, perhaps he wrote down the VIN and kept it

Give you a break? A simple answer would be nice. I have seen people talk trash about a car before and it has turned out to be a different car entirely. Was my question out of line?

Jason,

You think I would be stupid enough to make such a statement without having info that would stand up in court? If the Admins thought I had no credibility, this thread would have been gone by now.

Just amazing - you put out a message in the hopes that you can prevent fellow hobbyists from getting scammed and someone calls you out. How about calling the seller out? Ever think that selling something with such low mileage with NO supporting documentation from previous owners or pics of numbers is "a bold statement"?

I guess this comes back to the debate we have been having on this site for the past year - who should we be protecting, the buyer, or the seller? I know where you stand Jason.....

Hylton....Calm down...He had a valid question. If someone makes a statement we need to try and include info to back up the statement.
