Caveat Emptor...big problems
« on: July 25, 2018, 04:06:14 AM »
https://www.ebay.com/itm/1969-Chevrolet-Camaro-SS-Z11-396-INDY-500-PACE-CAR/263834036115?hash=item3d6dbbe793:g:Fe8AAOSwKARbVtHI&vxp=mtr

123679N659991

That's the VIN for a 6 cylinder Camaro convert built on or about June 20, 1969. The Z11 body tag shown has an 02D date; 4th week of February 1969. The tag is retained with non-original rivets. It is not original to the car.

From the ad. Virtually none of this could be accurate.

And it's not a typo.



Trim tag looks original, to bad everything else isn't.

I looked at his feedback and looks like he has sold you tube subscribers?  Why would you do that

If you google the phone number in the auction, it appears he's a consignor so he probably has no clue. Just parrots what he's told by the owner. Someone should contact him and let him know though. (Although he probably doesn't care because he's got a 93.3 approval rating on only 251 transactions! That's really bad by ebay standards.)

Where's the pic of the VIN in the ad ? Or did someone have a separate ?

That's great -

Google the VIN; leads to a series of photos from a previous ad. Car is worse that I thought. Looks to have a mid-70's 10 bolt axle and sub frame connectors.
