What Stefano said.

This one still boils my blood.

124379N690139. Fake L-89 car that had all fake docs. They went so far as to create an ownership history under the name of Kenneth Wright in Florida. Kenneth had died a few years before they put it together. IIRC, the car was run through Georgia, where they don't title antiques, then paperwork presented in Florida. Then all the fake docs were created.

I gave all the evidence I had on that one to a law enforcement in CA, where the car may have been stolen. I never heard back. It included synopsis of my conversation with Kenneth Wright's executor who had known him since he was a kid. He never owned a Camaro, let alone a 10 10 L89 Camaro.

This was the worst case of car fraud I had ever seen. It sold at Mecum in 2014 for $200k.

No idea where it is now; but someone sure got screwed over.

Just to set the record straight, Georgia does "title antiques".

If an old vehicle has a title it will be issued a new title if registered in Georgia.

If an old vehicle does not have a title, it will only be issued a registration slip when registered in Georgia.

If an old vehicle is on record as registered in Georgia without a title and then someone wants to register it in Georgia with a title(such as selling it to someone in Alabama, they title the vehicle there and then sell it to someone in Georgia with a title), it will not be issued a Georgia title.

I currently own a dozen or so titled and non titled vehicles in Georgia.

Thanks for setting me straight. Wasn't certain of the exact procedure, but do know there was some funny business in the title history.
