Automotive journalist extraordinaire, the late Brock Yates once asked a prominent collector about the state of the hobby:

"Speaking of fakes, major danger areas include Corvettes, Porsches, Cobras and muscle cars of the '60s and '70s. Too many parts and pieces. You can build masterly fakes, including matching serial numbers. Unless you have absolute, iron-clad, bullet-proof histories and really know your stuff, avoid 'em like the plague."

Yates wrote that June, 1996. 23 years later, not much has changed.

Default Now the cowl tag for the same car, thoughts ?

Here is a picture of the cowl tag from the same car. It looks ok to me but I am far from a expert. Opinions on it. Thanks.

I don't agree completely. While there is some truth to that and there were guys that cared, it was few and far between that long ago. 40 years ago a lot of these cars weren't much more than just 10 year old gas guzzler used cars that were just cheap hot rods at that time that people practically gave away.

These days it's definitely a different ball game when buying and selling, and the prices these cars bring now have driven people to be more frugal with what they are getting for their money.
