I have no problem with someone displaying Paul's paperwork with a car and truly think he does an "outstanding" job with his invoices and window stickers. Not only that, but I like how far he goes to research the facts on each customers car as well as the background info he often digs up on original dealerships. I have used Paul's services before and while already having had GM of Canada paper to go with that car, he researched facts to discover a few unknown details about the car and the dealership it came from, and did so on his own accord. He then went on to dig up additional promotional material on the original, but then defunct Chevrolet dealership.

Now on the other side of the coin I do recognize the issue with "some people" misrepresenting paper when it comes to selling a car, but to me that is solely on the integrity of the individual seller. Furthermore, I believe it's up to each and every buyer to perform the proper due diligence when buying a car regardless of its value, paperwork claims or the cars actual pedigree. Greed in itself is a funny thing which always brings fraudulent acts out of the shadows and stamping paper with the words "Reproduction" is not going to stop that!!! In fact, it's almost as bad as saying that every reproduced part on the market today should be stamped with words "Reproduction".

Fact is, most of us question almost "any" piece of paper unless there's rock solid ownership history to fact check the lineage of any such piece being claimed as original. IMHO, anyone who buys a vintage muscle car should (must) back check each such claim and if they don't, then bad on the prospective buyer for throwing such caution to the wind!!!

We already have enough trim tag and paperwork cops out there, and with all of the parts being made today that very closely resemble an original part right down to the smallest detail, it's high time that prospective buyers assume more responsibility to ensure they perform their own due diligence and focus on cars that are proven authentic. That or at least properly ascertain the level that the car has actually been restored to, or better yet do it through a certified pro appraiser who knows that cars particular makeup. There are too many would be buyers out there that just go and write the check without knowing what they should be looking for, what they're looking at or who they should hire to inspect a car if they haven't already done the proper homework and background checks.

Just my 2 bits on the matter, and yes I do realize other opinions will differ.
