This fake car is for sale again.
http://www.cars-on-line.com/gen3-car.../posting/89129

Now owned by a company in Keswick Ontario. If anyone in the US buys this they will have a hard time taking to court a company that probably has no assets. I believe I know who built it, who they got the donor body from etc.

Yes, the story of how this car was created is known to a small group of dedicated Camaro guys.

Too bad, those are nice cars if they owners were just up front and told the customers what they are, IF THEY REALLY KNOW THEMSELVES?????

Tag used to have some blatant errors on it. Curious if it's been 'fixed'.

The VIN was built by GM as a real L89. Car disappeared many years ago, with no trace. Was revived based on the Canadian Docs, but VIN and trim tag are said to have been reproduced and affixed to a body which had nothing to do with the original VIN or tags.

I am not stating this as first hand knowledge, just what I have learned researching the back ground history as this car was offered to me for purchase.

It is my understanding that there is virtually nothing from the original car included.

Anyone willing to elaborate more on this car? A friend of a friend has interest. My thought is you couldn't build it for $70k. If it runs n drives well, drive it and have a good time.

What might happen if the real Daytona Yellow L89 Camaro surfaces at some point, perhaps after a long slumber in someone's garage or basement?

Would it be a case of musical chairs... a problem for the owner of the car at that time? Or would it also be a problem for anyone that owned the car after the time it was recreated?
