Such a scenario can get very messy. Usually the original hidden VINs override the public VINs especially if supported by a chain of ownership.

Since its a Canadian car and a VIN search was performed, at that point another car with that VIN did not exist in the public eye.

The two guys who found the car have this one for sale now.

Maybe they can answer any questions about the history of the Camaro ?

Well window sticker is for sure a repro, I'll look over Vintage paperwork a little more thoroughly.

Issues like this happen in Shelbyland often. Car is totaled, VIN tag used to create another car, totaled car is repaired with same VIN. Ouch.....

This one is different. There was no wrecked car to take tags from. They got the cars info off another GM of Canada sheet before they started blacking out parts of the list. There is nothing from the orig L89 that vin belonged to on this car.

Charley or others, question for you guys who are "in-the'know":

Could the site have a area, not just a thread, that people can post cars, either good or bad, for future reference.

Much like the "dealer" section that then breaks down by some dealers? Maybe like it by manufacturers and then post cars that are known legit, and like the Chevelle and Camaro list here, are posted as a known "problem" or rebody or outright scam. The site that could be the keep of know fakes, good one and also when bodys and engine are reunited....

Just a thought. Even post VIN's as well

Shelbyland........recently in a land not to far away a believed long lost Shelby Mustang is unentombed, when the original owner dies.

A Shelby history search is performed by the Registrar and the car same car exists in another state with a different owner. Had the car for many years, show accolades and all. The Shelby Club member had stolen the identity of the car as no history had ever been reported. Fake Tags and VINs stamped on aprons.

The original car, still owned by the original family / estate, along with original tags even had an original build sheet still in the car.

That's awful!

Realistically, the fake car only had one of three:
- documentation (Marti Report) - yes, could even have Lois E's factory docs
- ownership history from new (or a long time) with contacts - probably not
- expert inspection certification (generally can spot wrong characters & welds) - probably not

There are cars in the Cobra registry that have 2 cars riding around with the same vin on them & they are so noted in the public registry.
