I don't know fellas, even a "birth cert" can be forged I just saw on flea bay a guy selling vin tags for 442/cutlass now this could lead folks to buy vins etc from a totalled car and clone it from a cutlass and if he could "find" the build sheet etc how would you know?
I actually find this all pretty depressing... if a guy is straight up he'll tell you it's a clone, but there are snapper heads like me who might of switched brands ( I was always a Poncho fan) knew Nothing about 442/cutlasses etc and would say hey it's a 442.. with experimental canadian built Olds (chevy) 305...
and what does it do for the guy who spent the big bucks on the rare model, spends all his beer money keeping it in tip top shape, and folks worried about clones won't pay the same premium when he goes to sell it???
sorry ranting away here
