Caveat Emptor...beware the carefully worded ad
« on: April 07, 2016, 04:42:09 PM »
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chevrolet-Camaro-Z28-/131773111602?forcerrptr=true&hash=item1eae4a1d32:g:DJkAAOSwsN9XBE5E&item=131773111602

The seller believes this car to be numbers matching!

Engine date is stated to be April 21. If my db is any indication that's about a month too early for an 06A car.

"Engine Vin Number is stamped on the Oil Filter Pad."

Of course but does it match this cars' VIN? If it does I'd be suspicious. The 1:40 off-load cam cracks me up. Of course they mention JM but don't state he has appraised it.

Proceed with caution.

"The seller believes...."
Nice way to deflect any possible blame.
I do like the color combo though. Nice looking car.

I believe I'll have a beer  :D
