Fake Protect-O-Plates...

Beautifully put Hylton!.


Although I initially liked the Estes' tribute car itself, personally the restamps and 'documents' made me quickly lose any interest in the car whatsoever..

Each their own though...it's your car..

What I can't understand is if Wagonmeister has true concerns for those who may get shaken on cars w/ similar 'pedigrees', why be so clandestine about where these fictional POP's etc were obtained?.

Crooks and dishonest people are everywhere, even our membership is not immune. Some of these guys think that just because they stamped their engines or swapped their VIN and trim tags 5,10,20 years ago that no one remembers.

I think it is just as bad when someone removes rare and valuable authentic GM parts from a well known car and replaces them with "junk" reproduction items and doesn't disclose that to the new buyer.

If you ask me,i think wagon man has been very upfront on this project from the beginning.I read about in on TC before.He said it was not real.Why is everybody so worried about this one car?It could'nt be jealousy could it?I'm sure there are many others that are fakes but the owners are not fessing up to it.I dont have the experience that most expensive car collectors have.

This entire story has opened my eyes to possible fake cars.

Has it opened anybody elses eyes?
That has to be one of the most beautiful first generation camaros.

"This is an offically licensed GM part. A reproduction made to order."
So is GM endorsing identity theft? How can/will Jim verify that the info given at the time of order is not from somebody elses car?

Isn't it legal to change your trim tag everywhere except Oklahoma? The other 49 need to get on board.

GM will will license a trim tag, but they won't release the VIN documentation on Chevy cars and trucks from the old days...???

There aren't enough Graemlins to cover this topic...
