I MAY BE ABLE TO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE CURRENT STATE OF THIS CAR.I ATTENDED THE AUCTION TO POSSIBLY PURCHASE THIS CAR, FULLY KNOWING IT WAS A CLONE. THE FORMER OWNER IS FROM CAPE COD AND IS IN PRISON SERVING A DRUG SENTENCE. US MARSHALL'S SEIZED THIS CAR WITHIN THE LAST YEAR AND STORED IT IN A WAREHOUSE.THE CAR WAS VERY DIRTY AND SOME PREVIOUS BODY WORK WAS STARTING TO SHOW. 15 OR 20 REAL BIDDERS SHOWED UP JUST FOR THIS CAR. THE GENERAL CONSCIENCES TALKING TO BIDDERS WAS "THE CAR WAS REAL".. AND "VERY RARE". NOBODY SEEMED TO KNOW ANY OF THE HISTORY ON THIS CAR, NEVER MIND PREVIOUS OWNERS / BUILDERS.. ONE OF THE REASONS I AM MAKING THIS POST IS THIS, OUT OF ALL THE PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP FOR THIS CAR ONLY 3 PEOPLE BID, THE CAR OPENED UP AT 50K BUY THE CURRENT OWNER WHO I KNEW. HE AND I WENT TO 57K WHEN I STOPPED BIDDING, A NEW BIDDER WHO I HAVE DONE BUSINESS WITH JUMPED IN AND THE 2 BATTLED TO 86K... WOW.... THE NEXT DAY I RECEIVED MANY PHONE CALLS FROM DEALER FRIENDS THAT ATTENDED ADESA BOSTONS FRIDAY SALE, THE WORD IS THE BUYER WAS AUTHORIZED TO GO TO 105K ON BEHALF OF DESANTIS CHEVROLET. HE WAS BRAGGING THE CAR WAS ONE OF 17 OR SO AND IT SHOULD DO 250K AT BARRETT IN JANUARY. ALSO THE CAR WAS SOLD BY THE US MARSHALL'S AND HAS NO TITLE.. THANKS SM

SORRY (CAPS)

I can't believe this car keeps getting passed around as a legit car. What a shame and I hope nobody gets burned on this car.

Thanks for the info Scott and congrats on your first post. Who is Desantis Chevrolet ? So nobody told the bidders it started out as a 327 car ? Is anybody going to tell them ? Seems to me they are better off knowing now before they start bragging about how rare it is and get caught up in another sour transaction.

THE GUY THAT ACTUALLY BID ON THE CAR WAS FROM "SHOE CITY AUTO SALES" IN BROCTON MASS. A SMALL USED CAR DEALER.HE REPS CARS FOR DESANTIS CHEVY. THE ONLY ANNOUNCEMENT WAS " IT IS A 69 CAMARO" . MOST BIDDERS AT THAT AUCTION NEW I WAS THERE FOR THE CAR,EVERYONE THERE WAS LOCAL. SOME WONDERED WHY I STOPPED BIDDING SO EARLY. SOME PEOPLE CAME TO ME THAT NIGHT AND INFORMED ME THAT THE HIGH BIDDER DID HIS HOMEWORK AND NEW HIS STUFF, I LAUGHED !!!! SCOTT
