?Fake POP?
« on: December 31, 2011, 04:52:20 PM »
I'm looking at a 69 Camaro car that has on the POP a sale (delivery date) 3 days BEFORE the engine and trans date stamps. Fake or am I missing something?

"Run Forrest Run" Seriously how could that happen since the dealer made the POP.

Post a couple of pictures (POP and engine stamp).

If the car was "sold" three days before the engine and transmission dates, then something's wrong. Could just be a dealer mistake when he stamped the tape, but we need to see the other dates as well.

The assembly plant made the P-O-P; all the dealer did was to add the customer's name and address with the plastic DYMO tape.

So, the only explanations would be dealer error or fake pop, right? The engine and trans date stamps are right there on the pop above the dymo label with the delivery date.

Here it is...Don't see a pic of actual engine pad stamp posted. But it's all right there on the p-o-p.

Is it possible that this vehicle was ordered with custom paint or other options that were not on the lot so the dealer actually sold the vehicle on this date as the order was transmitted?

I've never seen a POP with "Chevrolet Motor Division" as the selling dealer on it before. Has anyone else?

Maybe an employee purchase?

There's no reason to believe the POP is a fake. If you're going to fake one, you'd get the date right.  If there is something wrong my bet is it's at the engine/tranny stamp.  Any pics of those?

There is also a car shipper paper that staes it is an employee order.

Can you post that shipper? Are you from the Cincinatti area? Sounds like a cool find

That address is in Sharonville, roughly 10 miles north of Norwood and just inside the 275 beltway.  Looks like a large industrial type building or warehouse with numerous bay doors.  Hard to tell age but not a new structure.  The company there now is Nisbett Brower, looks like they're in construction or architecture, building industry etc.  Number is 513-563-1111, maybe they know the building's history.

I googled the Covington KY white pages and got a Daniel R Dilts, 1207 Sunset Road, Covington KY 41011, (859) 261-0385, age 60-64 but who knows how accurate that is.  Looks like a stone's throw from the original address, and just across the Ohio River from Cincy.  Sometimes you get lucky  :)

Maybe the question should be if a GM employee purchased a car what was the process as maybe there is nothing wrong with the POP or engine/trans #'s. Maybe JohnZ knows if an employee purchased a car was it possible to have the date filled out prior to car being completed/built.
