Not sure why you would say that. Certification by Jerry is HIGHLY revered in the Camaro world.

However, as been stated MANY times in the past, you can't please all the people all the time.

Post by: 69Z28-RS on February 14, 2019, 03:04:42 PM: That certificate 'cover sheet' (as we've discussed here many times) says *nothing* about discrepancies found, original parts on the car (IF ANY), or condition of the car! I suspect that is what the poster was saying.

The page posted (the certificate/cover page) actually only says that the owner paid Jerry to check their Camaro and provides the VIN. Without the accompanying *details* on the car, the 'certificate' itself is just a 'brag sheet' among people who don't know the details!

Post by: bertfam on February 14, 2019, 04:56:56 PM: Agreed, the cover page really doesn't tell you a lot (although it DOES confirm the car left the factory as a Z28), so always ask for the FULL REPORT before buying a car. Just because it may have left the factory as a Z, doesn't mean it has ANY of the original parts anymore!!

You're a good man Kurt, Jerry would be proud :)

Here is another example to compare to the one above for authenticity......to me both look genuine Jerry.

Post by: 68 Ragtop on February 18, 2019, 08:33:53 PM: Interesting comments in that auction. Motor Man chimed in and took a shot at Macneish with the old evening orchid debate.
Seller never responds to questions on BaT but answers some in private messages.
Seller is asked to supply the rest of the Macneish report and claims he only paid $500 for just the certificate front page because a full report was $1800 and not worth it due to CE engine.
Ended up a reserve not met no sale at $37,250.

Post by: KurtS on February 27, 2019, 03:15:37 AM: BS. The stupid certificate comes as part of the appraisal. Can't get one without the other...

Post by: lynnbilodeau on March 03, 2019, 07:13:30 PM: Not sure if any Z/28's got them, but there are a couple of very late 68 Camaros with 350 engines that got 1969 casting (186) heads.
The extra holes would not interfere with anything on the 68.
