Window Stickers

[Steve Shauger]

I want to start off by saying reproduction documentation should not be displayed or represented as original in the sale of a car period.

Reproduction documentation should never be aged period! I’d like to see some watermark or identification that it is a reproduction.

Saying reproduction documents are at fault for fraud is like saying a guns kill. It’s the dishonest people who represent their cars and documentation as real who are at fault and thieves.
There are many cases where cars are reproduced by original paperwork. I remember that 69 RG RS/Z that sold at an auction as original for 120ki+ and the only things original were the documentation and VIN tag and trim tag.

To me original paperwork is icing on the cake, but the vehicle itself is what matter…. Would you rather have a handful of original documentation (POP, window sticker, buildsheet, pre-inspection) or a true original car. Yes we’d all like both, but paperwork is worthless without a genuine car. The more I learn about cars the less important the paperwork become to me.

Whether you use Paul or his services ( winvoices) or not, he is very helpful and informative when researching dealers, options, and participates quite often on this board, while not soliciting his services but helping hobbyist… Just my opinion.
