Unfortunately, crooks are in our hobby. This reminds me of a well known Mopar shop in the San Fernando Valley (L.A.), that was raided a number of years ago for VIN tampering. The alleged indictment were from complaints he would turn 6 cylinder/340/383 cars into 426 Hemi's by altering the VIN, and selling them as such. I do not know if the owner was convicted or not. Bottom line, IF it seems too good to be true, its usually not. Buyer beware!

1969 Mustang Fastback w a Can-Am 494 (Boss 429)

Probably just the tip of the iceberg. Glad there is a site like this with knowledgeable people to give guidance.

I told people about this guy years ago after being contacted by a guy in Ca. that had paid him 70K up front to have a ZL1 built for him. Was a nightmare for him.

Thanks! I was thinking of having a ZL-1 Replicar built. :( Guess I'll have to build it myself. :)
