Title: New creep on the block!
Post by: bertfam on May 17, 2013, 01:50:33 PM
Looks like there's a new player in the FAKE TRIM TAG/FAKE VIN TAG (http://www.ebay.com/itm/70-Chevelle-Pontiac-Camaro-Cowl-Data-Trim-Tag-/230981660532?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c7946f74&vxp=mtr) game. (Thanks to Warren Leunig for pointing them out)

deniser3592 from Uxbridge, Ontario Canada

Check out the feedback and you'll see the blank VIN tags. Also note the name "Bill" in THIS AUCTION (http://www.ebay.com/itm/1955-56-57-Chevrolet-Bel-Air-Cowl-Data-Trim-Tag-/230980348126?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c78068de#ht_262wt_1400). I wonder if it's our old friend Bill Clements. Last I heard he had moved to Canada, so it's very possible.

In this example, there are two:

1967 Trim Tag

01E E
ST 67 12437 NOR180567 BODY
TR 760-Z K-K PAINT
2HLG 3L

1969 Trim Tag

ST 69 12437 NOR193681 BDY
TR 719 52 52 PNT
12B X33 D80

Thank goodness they're HORRIBLE and a 5 year old could tell the difference!!

I've captured a few from this person, but expect there will be many more.

"To order your Classic Tag you will need:

- A scan / or digital photo of original tag
 or
- Year Model & Series - Hardtop, Coupe, 2dr, 4dr, wagon, conv, etc
- Body numbers - production numbers from where body was built (may require VIN numbers)
- Trim numbers - interior fabric type & colors
- Paint numbers - body colors"


They're not limited to Camaro's either.

If it is the same guy, he's dropped his base price significantly.
