Bill; Yes it had a one off Fiberglass hood supposedly a GM prototype . The build sheet showed some real strange things like F-70-15 wheel tire combo as well, Very Questionable as to the originality of the doc's and car !!!

Yep.

Also fake build sheet. Not sure if the car was real or not but it sold at BJ about 6 years ago for $45K.

Same outfit that used to advertise in Hemmings for fake tags and buildsheets, and is now selling fake tags on ebay. The listings are by Bill and Howie in Lubbock, TX, which is none other than Mr. Clements. Here's a link to a recent tag auction of his:

Yeah, Mr. Clements sure can spin a tall tale. He sure goes to a lot of effort to fool people. Too bad he doesn't use his energy toward something more worthwhile.
