Not that anyone on this site needs to be told, but it's interesting to see an article on this appear in the more or less mainstream press.

I agree, rampant re-popping. Sux, all it does is make authentication of a real _____[fill-in the blank] because of this condition....AKA Greed.

Thank you BusinessWeek for telling everyone how.


Not that most people would have the means to do it right, but some might try it and just create more grief for the people who have cars legitimately.

Where there's money, there's corruption. One of the reasons I'll never buy a Chevelle SS again (had a '71 SS454 that was probably a fake). After the '68 model year ('69-'71, '72 at least had an engine designator in the vin) the 'SS' package became an option on the Malibu. The cloning, re-stamping, fraudulent paperwork, etc. has become SO BAD in the Chevelle world that, unless you personally took delivery of the car new, you never really could be sure.

I've heard Cheby made more money off selling SS emblems to date then they ever did on the original sale price of the cars themselves. I believe it too when about 90 percent of Chevy owners you talk to will tell you its a true SS
