I worked at a parts store back in Montana through the 1990's and had become known as a Camaro source. I had one person bring in pics of his 1969 Z/28 Camaro he had bought new. I am pretty sure it is same car. Flat hood rally green white stripes rally sport z. also it did have chambered exhaust on it. If you watch the part where they show the original photo the car has a Montana License plate on the front. The first two #'s on the plate signify the county where car is registered. I had the DVR record the event and had my wife watch the green Z/28. Because green is her favorite color. She is the one who noticed the original Conrad Montana license plate in the photograph.

I remember seeing what looked like a Montana plate in the old picture, too. They were showing that old picture to back up the fact that the car had both the RS emblem and the Z28 emblem on the grille.

So, did that guy in Montana still own the 69 Z when you were there in the 1990's, or had he sold it long before then? This could help determine whether or not the car that 'Gary' owned is the same car that was sold at the B-J auction....because I'm not sure if it was anything more than speculation as to whether the cars were the same or not Perhaps this was verified, but between all the postings on several different websites, I don't remember for sure

Here is where I am confused. Are we certain tha the VIN on the paperwork previously sold on ebay is the same as the car sold this weekend at BJ? If so? Was that same ebay paperwork sold with this car this weekend?

Exactly what items were previously sold on ebay as "memorablia" and were their VINs on those items that belonged on the car that just sold? Sorry for the confusion. With so may threads on so many forums with so many deletions I am confused?

I can't make out what is depicted in the picture on this thread regarding the paperwork? Was a trim plate sold with the items?

On page 11 of this thread their is a picture with a trim plate, protecto plate and another piece of metal, plus other documents? Does anyone know with certainty that the VINs on those items match the VIN on the camaro sold Saturday night? Whats the piece of metal supposed to be?

From what was posted in the CRG thread, the VIN of the B-J car was the same as the tags/paper sold by Gary years ago.

The piece of metal is the cutout section that contains the hidden VIN under the cowl.

pretty sure I read on the closed thread he said he checked his old copied paperwork with the numbers posted at the auction and they were the same...I may be having a senior moment but that's what I recall reading.

When we judged the car at Carlisle the owner showed us the picture of the car when it was supposedly brought home from the dealer. The picture was dated a year later and I doubt that was mentioned during the auction.

If the piece of metal sold on ebay is the VIN under the cowl and that piece of metal containing the VIN is on the car sold this weekend and the trim plate sold on ebay also matches the VIN of the car sold this weekend then that car needs to be impounded before it leaves Vegas and NHP needs to be brought in. Just follow the piece of metal with the VIN on it. Whatever car it is currently on has been used to perpetuate a fraud and whomever welded that piece of metal with the VIN on it to the car has changed the identity of a car.
Geez, does anyone know if BJ has this information? Is anyone certain they have the correct VIN and lot number of the car sold this weekend? I will make some calls today? Thanks.
