Default Fake Protect-O-Plates...

What a joke. Anyone have any information on the two users who have made purchases? "Been in business since 1988" How many fake Protect-O-Plates has Jim Clemens made in the last 20 years? What are your thoughts on POPs being used as documentation?

from left to right, when you hold it to the mirror;
line 1 int trim ~ paint code ~ vin ~ H= carb source
2 eng # rear# build month
3 trans # ~ 1 53 3 - other options

that's just a guess based on a real POP.

so who is Robt. Tuller, some fake dude that the PeeBait stamper made up?

Don't kid yourselves guys like this are hurting the value of all Chevy's and slowly over time eroding the market and confidence for muscle cars in general. Absolutely devastating for the hobby and has been for years.

thanks jeff for flipping it!!!!!!

theres some truth to this.....actually theres alot of truth to it...

only vins cannot be created.and unfortunatly chevy didnt utilize there vins to tell a cars true pedigree....

faking pop's and paperwork for monetary gain is just dihonest....sickening to me..i hope nobody gets burned....

please do you homework before shelling out big bucks...

chevy
