Richard your one of the few owners that doesn't need the ultra praise of having, COPO, SS, Z, for guys to say how cool it is. Your car is awesome to me, and a rare sight these days, when every 1st gen is badged as some special HP version of the car. The issue is all the rebadged cars. Will guys pay up for an original HP car, or will the SS Z COPO tribute cars be more attractive and less guys wanting to get into the can of worms of numbers matching and all.

I think the inspection is something (currently) that can hold value to buyers and sellers, but it is a huge undertaking. Additionally as time marches on will the inspection be as valuable ? All of the passionate numbers matching guys and people that want a correct car, may be less and less and it may not be as important to have a 1st gen Camaro inspected. Perhaps the MCACN or the Camaro Nationals will be the future outlet if people want certification of some sort.

Exactly. Those of us that can follow and understand know that the certificate is worthless without the attached appraisal. It is printed on pretty paper and looks impressive to those that do not know. Not sure why you felt a need to explain that to Kurt, I am pretty sure he has seen a thing or two.
just that it is less of a value appraisal vs as Bryon states it is actually the useful info of what is incorrect or (wrong). I guess to me when I hear the word "appraisal " I think of someone actually putting a dollar amount to an object is all. 🙂

Good point DW. The rest of us 69Z guys are not funny...🙃
There is a 69Z registry group on FB. It has its ups and downs. Think of Team Camaro. We try to keep it pretty tight and focused just on the 69Z. But there are many guys that are fly by the seat of your pants, buy first, verify second. Most of us try to steer the members in the right direction, but it so surprising to me the number of guys, with more money than sense. I would assume there have always been guys like that in the hobby since the beginning. It takes all types I suppose. 🙂

Thats the exact reason to bring up a car like this. I see a car like this and the JL8 was an obvious red flag, but then it makes you question the legitimacy of the rest of the car. How many hands will this car pass through and be touted as JL8 before someone realizes it was just a modified rear disc package added. 🙄

I agree somewhat and see where you are coming from. So you think an appraisal holds more weight, I take it ? I can't remember the last time someone had a real appraisal and used it as a selling point for a 1st gen. Now I know auction houses have the 'pre-sale estimates' but I assumed those are just by some flunky.

I think once Jerry Certifies a car, at least you know a good set of eyes has been on it, at one point. Very often I see a cert from Jerry, but it could be from many years ago *or you won't see the report just the cert, so you don't have any other details on the car. Which can be scary because I believe the re-body green 69Z (somebody famous owned) ended up getting a cert. If a car like that misplaces the report and has the cert, could there be others out there.
Ex: a certed Z car that Jerry may have called out for having a re-stamped motor or trans or rear end in the report. If a potential buyer sees it years later they may hav no idea it has a re-stamped anything just by seeing the cert. Which is not on Jerry, since he called it out originally, but just like window stickers and P.O.P, sometimes things go missing.
