53 Corvette #29 (x2?)

[SebringBill]

Wanna have some fun? (I know it's the "other" forum, but this is where that particular member posts.)

Umm..'splain this, Lucy! 53 #29 (x2!) - Corvette Forum

So does anyone else but me have a problem with re-stamped items (those items being stamped with numbers that were originally on a different item)?

People stand up and say it is just for the owner's pleasure and to represent how it "would have looked" from the factory. I say B/S.

Very interesting. Pick a number that doesn't seem to exist any more and build a car around a repop vin plate. Worked out fine until the real #029 came along. I think it's rather funny.

Looks like someone went go to great lengths to avoid a state issued vin and they got bit.

All of those threads at corvette forum got closed kinda quick because the guy that has the fake car is on the website and complained about those threads


Seems new owner is going to the police and is going to press charges against guy that says he has #29 car

So what kind of jail time does someone get for fraud like this??

 

[SebringBill]

And yet, the admin/mods on this forum don't seem to mind. Exactly why I prefer this place (and why Garage Depot got my MHL thread)!

Tom, thank you!

I still am interested in the hobby and don't want to read that all 326 of the original 300 1953 Corvettes have been found (less the one I know John Hinckley destroyed, of course)otfl like all 45 of the original 20 1967 L-88s.

FWIW, the 029 in Florida has title work back to the early 60s, maybe even late 50s. This is a 2-owner car.

Sounds like good cause to change the CAC 1953 Corvette Registry info, pertaining to #029 and ownership.

 

[vettebrett]

Who is in charge of that registry?? Who need to be contacted??

Don't forget that they found the real Motorama car, too.

 

[vettebrett]

What year Motorama car are you talking about??

You don't wanna get me started with those shuysters. I have better proof about them!

Corvettes - World's Oldest Corvette, Corvette EX-122

Interesting read on EX122. I hope we hear how and what the owner of the real 29 car ends up doing to protect his investment.
It should be important to all owners to see what the future holds for made up cars.

 

[vettebrett]

SO I am to assume that this car is not completely correct also, or just parts of the car? What is the basic story about it?

 

[gscott]

Do we know who owns the fake car , who restored it and has it been judged ? :confused
