70 Chevelle SS FAKE build sheet

[Rainer]

I agree also about posting specific mistakes, which is why I didn't point any out in my post. If the sheet does ever get corrected, it will be hard to explain the copy of the one we have in this post.

Although I agree with Bill and others that there is some concern with the fake build sheets getting better, I am optimistic that very soon we will see the collector car market respond with some document authentication service offerings.

I have no background in this area, but I'm sure that there are experts who can easily detect whether paper and ink are 37 years old or just made to look that way. Document forgeries have been happening for centuries, but modern technology has come a long way. Combine that with some expert knowledge of the correct information to be found on a sheet, and the fakers will be stopped dead in their tracks.

Weighing a cost of $100-$200 for this type of service against a $30000-$60000 purchase price seems like a no-brainer. Whether its done for-profit or established by some car hobby governing bodies, this needs to be available.
