It makes me sick as none are being advertised as bogus. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery it is said until someone, like myself, would try and sell my real deal car and have to defend it as such with all the fakery out there. Of course, selling is not in the picture for the foreseeable future. |

Yikes! Can you imagine how badly the broach would have been worn to create those broach marks?

Sound familiar? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/bs.gif[/img] ~ Pete Lot F254 in the Mecum auction on Friday was a ZL 1 clone that sold for $ 62k. Very nice car with a lot of original parts including an original 69 block. I talked to the guy and his wife, from Houston, that bought it and they were ecstatic and couldn't believe it sold for that price. There was a HO 69 L 72 clone that later bid to $70 and was a no sale, go figure. http://www.mecum.com/auctions/lot_detail...mp;startRow=281 </div></div> |
Re: 1969 Camaro L89 with JL8 option at Kissimmee
a stigma will be attached to this car forever. I wonder who bought it.? at 200k im sure the buyer felt it was a real car. If the car sold for clone money i think the seller would be off the hook.
someone here must know who bought the car??? |
Re: 1969 Camaro L89 with JL8 option at Kissimmee
That's the one I was thinking of Verne.
Nice car for the money. The fake L89 car in question would be worth about that, if properly represented. Wonder if Mr. Edward J. (Jack) O'Donnell kept the original trim tag from car 690139? |
