1962 black/red 409 wanted

[camaromb]

Yeah, what you said. I'm trying to help someone find a good car.

There is one on E-Bayer now , Corvette-Mike Midwest is the seller.

Thanks for the heads up, I didn't see that one. Its a great looking car, I hope its a real 409 car.

According to a local 409 expert that car has a repro trim tag and repro 409 specific parts. At that price I expected it had to be a clone, especially when they mention the $220,000 sale of Floyd Garret's car at Mecum Kissimmee.

Floyd's '62 sold at BJ in Arizona and was featured in the &quot;Class of '62&quot; at MCACN IV.

I do not know anything about this particular '62.

However, what I do know from my own personal experience as well a long standing business relationship is that the guys at Corvette Mike Midwest as well as Corvette Mike California are very good and honest people and do care about the integrity and validity of special cars.

No one knows everything about one specific model and certainly no one can know everything about all models of cars. These guys will always give you the best info they can.

My experience has not been that good. I have been at the california location a few times, no issues there. But in burridge IL, they told me it was best to leave when I pointed out the wrong core support in a 62 fuelie vette I was considering. Had all the marking of a non-fuelie car (mushroomed out screw holes around air intake portion of the support). Never been back.

Are you saying that they deliberately faked up a fuelie Corvette or that they deliberately lied to you about the car?

Are you saying that you are 100% certain that the car is a complete fraud?

Sounds like you did your homework and decided the car was not for you.

What, a fake car? I bet there was Canadians involved somehow . They can get stuff from the US that Americans have no access too

Good one.

PS: I saw a 62 or 63 with Ontario plates quik9r at PSMCDR, but never got to talk to the owner, coming next year?
