I grabbed a BS from "Chevelle Stuff " for comparison...

Lot's of issues:

* font is slightly off (too thin)
* paper looks thick
* alignment of options not consistent with real Baltimore BSs (multiple (real) Balt. BSs are all consistent with how they align below block 93)
* block alignment entries start meandering to the right as you move from left to right across the sheet. Again not the case with real BSs.

This would fool a bunch of folks. Good job getting the evidence Howard.

I like the fact that these build sheets are always missing parts of them which have no bearing on the value of the vehicle.

Wonder how that happens???

Well that's not Billys Chevelle...
That buildsheet is Homemade,and is not even typical to this vehicles options.
He picked the wrong Plant & donor car to assimilate for this Chevelle.
He made some fatal solid lifter specific parts character errors,but the most obvious to me is he forgot to list either the C-O5 or C-O6 Convertible top RPO code in box #107.
In box #11 he has the HARDTOP open frame code showing.
Box #79 is particularly pertinent to a convertible built at the Baltimore plant,and this one's not even close.

Red Flags everywhere guys..

Rick - sometimes you (I) just miss the most obvious items (C05).

Howard - would you pls reply to the owner and thank him for sending the "authentic" documentation and ask him if he could also forward the rare Build Sheet "addendum form" which documents the convertible top? Pls post response here!

You can tell the thickness by looking at a scanned copy? Henry lee is looking for an assistant

All good points, mr70. Lots of red flags but unfortunately for most average buyers these things would not be noticed and that is very troubling especially with big dollars involved. Someone is going to lose to these crooks.

P.S. As was noted on the Chevelle website the SS 454 emblems on the front fenders look a bit out of position as well. Who knows what this car really is.

I think we need to be careful listing many of the incorrect items we find on these build sheets on an open forum as the scammers just continue to improve their fakes based on what we tell them is wrong. Suffice to say it has fake written all over it. This sheet is missing the one key item that I see on all Baltimore sheets and one that I see on most. Shhhhhh.

I cannot believe some of the junk I am asked to authenticate as well as some of the REALLY good ones that are coming along lately. They are getting scary they are so good. Just an opinion guys.
