Everyone needs to look at this car and read what is written and what isn't written... what do you see??? anything standout that should make you say STOP!!! I have of course biased you all by letting you know there is something major here.. not to mention the many small details.. but I need for you all to look closely :sad:

That engine has been restamped big time. The font isn't even close to original. Looks like it was stamped just yesterday. Too bad, the guy lost all credibility there, if he had a real 138 car, just sell it as a non matching numbers car, instead of doing this kind of fraud

The ad says it is a restamped block, I can spot 10 mostly minor errors or incorrect parts. But he is not giving us pics of Vin, or casting numbers.

That car and the pics look a lot like a scam page that was pulled last year.

He states that it has been restamped so he is not committing fraud.

OK Mike,now my suspence is up.I am constantly learning from you guys.I dont really believe much of what these ebay sellers write anymore.Real 138 car numbers matching,and then they usually say,well sorta.What am I missing?

YES, The Restamp issue.. which he has now amended to say so after I asked him to do so. It was obvious to me and maybe not others, but orig. add left the issue alone.. it was obvious, but not directly stated as it is now. I asked him if it was restamped and he said Yes and told me so without hestitation.. which I appreciated but was not happy that it was not said so up front at first. The rest of teh issues are the usual details missed, but nothing that I was concerned about. Just wanted those who don't know what to look for, to see a Restamp first hand.

Mike

When I first pulled it up, it was not stated restamped, but that is a pretty poor job of a restamp. The guy should have just left it alone

I can appreciate him coming out with the restamped block. But I get the feeling this will not be mentioned when the next owner decides to sell.:sad:

This stuff is just BAD NEWS! Too much of it going on and not enuff of us speaking up and saying "THIS IS WRONG!!". The Corvette guys have been doing this for decades and now it seems to have become somewhat acceptable in the Camaro world...check this out...

He's got the aged window sticker ta boot. :(

It's a cancer on the hobby...plain & simple. :mad:

KUDOS to you Mike for calling this guy on the carpet. :thumbsup:

Well, just like my day job.. we don't have a cure for it yet.. but with Early Detection and some preventative measures.. we can certainly put a dent in it :yes:

It's a don't ask Don't tell policy and that's what I don't like.. I think the Deck Stamp here was poorly done.. which is good for the hobby,,, but not everyone knows what a REAL one looks like.. every plant is different, this was s/w close.. and to think, he paid a premium to have it done :confused:

Not saying the car is not a nice car. I have the VIN, so hopefully it will be documented for future sales as not Numbers Matching. I had someone who was interested in the car until he discovered the Re-stamp.
