Trans-Am Camaros / Re: Racing seats
« on: February 03, 2019, 03:39:28 PM »
A great thread. 
Nascar Busch champ Randy LaJoie now runs a seating and racing safety company in Concord NC "LaJoie of Seating".  He has a mint Donohue/Racemark seat at his shop, says it was the inspiration for the fabricated aluminum seats he builds, primarily for Nascar, but we use his seats for road racing.  He will build vintage seats to order.

Most aluminum racing seats (ButlerBuilt, Kirkey, Richardson) and those shown in this thread capture the ribcage and pelvis to keep the torso located. 

The Donohue seat and LaJoie seats, capture the shoulder and pelvis.  Much more effective, less injuries result.   thejoieofseating.com/

Ed, Please reread my post. 
I do not see any such flag in the report or certification for THIS car.  Jerry reviewed three cars at that location that day.  That may account for the confusion.

Please go back and review the original poster's story (since recanted) and his supporting "documentation".  All of the fraud here lies within.  His "documents" are copies, and his "cowl VIN" was cut from one of the 14 other Camaros he has owned.  Perhaps he can explain why.

There is no evidence that this car had its cowl VIN altered, removed or replaced.  I have seen bare-metal photos of the cowl area, and reviewed many of the more than 1000 photos of its restoration.  In Hall County, Ga., certifying VIN numbers is a very serious business, and this car was certified with correct, matching VINs in ALL 5 locations, (tag, cowl, heater, engine, trans) PRIOR to its restoration. 

I have read Jerry MacNeish's report on this car.  It is exhaustive, and extremely well detailed.  Kent Waters had him certify this car prior to final assembly so issues that Jerry raised could be corrected as the car went together.  Jerry's report says "This Camaro and trim tag are certified as real and authentic".  And Jerry points out "Excellent original documentation file with this Z28 Camaro."

Jerry's report does not flag the engine or drivetrain as reproduction or restamped.  Jerry evaluated two other cars for Mr. Waters on the same day as this one.  One of those cars did have an incorrect drivetrain, and that car has since been built as a resto-mod.  It was not this car.

Classic Gary's story is a sad one.  Sadder still, is that after all these years, he is so upset about losing this car that he has created (and many of you have fueled) an unfair firestorm under Kent Waters, Jerry MacNeish, Hall County, Barrett-Jackson, and even Ron Pratt.

All auto hobbyists and collectors oppose fraud, and are rightly outraged when it occurs.  But this is a real car, painstakingly documented and carefully restored, with many steps taken along the way to rebut any questions of its authenticity..

Please note that the above post is NOT mine.  Someone is spoofing my log in.

What about the paper work, POP, keys, hidden VIN's and all the outer stuff that now belongs to TWO cars.
 If it's all legit, why worry?

Because it's all a fiction, and the reputations of hard-working, honest people are at stake.
.
Kent Waters Originals restored and sold this original Z/28 with a very rare combination of features, and it is extensively documented.  Waters, Speed TV, Barrett-Jackson, the buyer AND Classicgary all agree that this is the original, real car.

Classicgary's entire story, from the original post on, is a fabrication.  
.
This is a real car.  
.
Barrett-Jackson, Speed Channel and both the seller/restorer and buyer of the car at auction are all aware of this little charade, so please don't perpetuate it or give Classicgary's story any credibility.  Perhaps he'll choose to explain, maybe not.
.
He did once own the car in question.  That's about all that's true.
