You guys sound just like Roseanne re: AOC.
https://youtu.be/B2k-XW-gYHc But back to the topic: I was remotely involved in a deal on a very rare pair of cars in a collection in Europe and had my eyes opened as I learned one of the world's foremost restorers recently developed a reputation for "forging" chassis and dressing them up with correct parts. And one of the cars that was for sale for several million had a clone that the collector intended to keep to "save face" after selling off the crown jewel in his collection. I got quite an education in that deal and chose to be involved only if the buyer fully understood the necessity of including the clone in the purchase... Not sure if that deal will ever happen. But in this case, the bad news came out before money exchanged hands. As these cars became multi million dollar 'investments' the forgers came out of the woodwork.

DWELLE, I'M SURE NICK SHOWED YOU HIS BEST SIDE UNFORTUNATELY HE HAS TWO SIDES. MY PHONE BLEW UP AFTER THIS CAME TO LIGHT. I WISH I COULD SHARE A FEW OF THE STORIES THAT I KNOW WITH YOU ALL BUT BE PATIENT THERE'S GONNA BE MORE THAN ENOUGH TO GO AROUND, CHECK OUT JALOPNIK JERRY SEINFELD,TODAY! OR LOOK INTO FLATSIXES.COM PORSCHES VERSUS TRAIN in Ventura .ca, the cars all belonged to European collectables just read the comments, the insurance company thought it to be fishy, or the phoney speedster that Euro collectables sold at barrett jackson. Looking forward to attending the open house at e.c. wonder if ole nicks got the balls to show up? What a tangled web we weave when we practice to decieve.

This is getting better by the day. Rumor has it this fraud is going to be tracked back to Ferry Porsche when he put a fancy badge on his fathers modified VW.

![]() Now back to the scheduled program.... Hopefully if there is some forgery connected to the suit, the forger will be held accountable.

Meanwhile Gooding I'm sure goes unscathed in all of this:

There used to be a car show in Ventura County, Cali. These cars were all on display there with EC. My wife and I had been eyeing the black one. All were beautiful cars. We left the show which was down the road from our hotel. As we were leaving our hotel we saw all these blinking lights down the road with emergency vehicles. She asked if we should go down and check it out. I feared somebody really hurt, and wasn't interested in finding out. Later that evening on the local news they showed all these cars were damaged when leaving the show on a car carrier. It was going across a raised railroad crossing and bottomed out. While it was stuck there, efforts were made to contact the authorities to stop the train that was due to cross this location. Needless to say, they failed in getting it to stop. I'm still glad we didn't walk down to check things out. As this site was equally sad!

The problem is like mentioned above about the amazing metal craftsman that is making an all steel speedster for “himself”. 4 owners later it’s been tagged with a vin and being sold as a genuine speedster. 5th owner decided he doesn’t want a $400,000 liability sitting in his garage so he sells it. Who is the perpetrator of the crime? Not the metal craftsman. Not the 2nd,3rd or 5th owner. I’m sure it happens more often than we would like

When I collected watches a friend tried to convince me on buying vintage Rolexes, since I didn’t have enough knowledge of that market...I chose to pass. Too many scammers out there.
