Restoration / Removing trim tag from Z/28
« on: March 02, 2010, 08:40:09 PM »
Recently I bought a '68 Z/28.......a very rusty/butchered example. Hopefully in the next few months I will be purchasing some steel and am looking at having the car dipped/stripped..................What is the ettiquette for removal of the tag? Not removing it is not an option(novice opinion)I believe, as it has a rather large piece of rust next to it where the join is that will need to be repaired.
Opinions please.
Jim

[ratpack]Reading this post and ignoring the other sites this is being discussed, I have two questions for the current owner. Did he receive that actual report that accompanies the certification and does it state what Jerry was officially verifying/inspecting? Also has he even bothered to pick up the phone and talk to Jerry about his concerns over a car that he did not have inspected by Jerry before buying? (same thing Tom eludes to above) To the rest of us on this board, including me, the report, the issues/concerns of the current owner with the seller, and issues with this car should be of no concern to us.
Yes I did receive the original report.
Yes I have picked up the phone to talk to Jerry, I have phoned numerous times but only get the machine. If Jerry has a call logger he could tell you how many times I have called. That said, Jerry has called me back but he also got my machine
due to the time difference and work we obviously find it hard to be in the same place at the same time As said before, the car is in the same condition as the previous buyer bought it...........excepting that he poached the rear spoiler and centre wheel caps before I got
The original paperwork I have is titled "Appraisal-Certificate of Authenticity" I keep seeing "Certify" in posts but no "Appraisal" It might be a language barrier thing but my understanding of "Certificate of Authenticity" would be verification that the car is in fact a Z/28, which I believe it to be 100%, and the the "Appraisal" part goes toward a general condition of the car?
As stated in the ""Appraisal-Certificate of Authenticity" the undercarriage was inspected

This is a portion of the floor where it has been cut the whole way across just in front of the front seats ....the weld looks pretty much the same the whole way across.
The car has been verified to have a Saginaw in it.............To see the Saginaw, you would have to roll right under the butchered weld
Car is the same as it was when bought from the States, only differences being that the seller has kept the centre caps and the rear spoiler
Also in the paperwork there is no mention of holes/hanger on the left side of the rear frame rail for the the dual exhaust...should there be something Because there ain't(I don't know enough about this and am only repeating what I have been told). Could this be another telltale sign of butchery....

What is on the paper work I believe is correct, it's what's not on the paperwork that i am disappointed about
I would assume that when you certify/appraise a vehicle, you would document all aspects of the vehicle not just the ones associated with the rpo codes
Maybe it is me who is confused

I bought the car sight unseen............yeah I know what you are going to say but I was not really concerned about the condition of the car as I knew it needed a full rebuild, I only cared that the car was actually what it was represented as. Which was a 68 Z/28.
Because it needed most everything to bring it back up to scratch I bought it sight unseen purely because it had been certified by a well known Camaro authority. Now to the whats wrong and right with the car.
I believe the car is as represented....a '68 z/28 and is actually in better condition than i expected That said, there is something not right with the car should I have known this I would have never purchased the car The car was delivered to my house on a Wednesday and due to work commitments I did not get to have a look at it until yesterday. Pretty well as soon as soon as I looked at the car I could tell what was wrong Surely an authority in this type of car should have spotted this problem and noted it in their paperwork 
I have spoken to the seller of the car who claims that he knew nothing of what is wrong with the car.....to which I call bs as he has a '67 and a'69 Camaro and I'm sure that most any car enthusiast would spot this problem.
I will try to speak to the guy certified it again this morning and see what he has to say.
cheers
