Default Re: Fake Protect-O-Plates...

"I would think that a Canadian sold car is the only way to go. The VIN can be verified any time through GM Canada. With the market saturated with fake paperwork, I'm glad all my cars are Canadian sold"

I agree with this statement to a point.
George Z. & his team do this hobby a great and beneficial service,but a vehicle documented through there is nothing more then verifying a VIN # & the options it came with...that's it.
Because of that,a Canadian built/sold vehicles' past history & research must be continued on and scrutinized closer,more so then any US sold vehicle,as it should be looked at for any subtle signs of foul play.
Harvested vehicles have been found with transplanted VIN & cowl tags documented through Canada,just to appear authentic to unsuspecting buyers.
Too much premature confidence is being put into a vehicle with Canadian history today,when they really need to START with George,not end with him.
