    Scammers are EVERYWHERE in the automotive world! That’s why it’s so important to do your due diligence when buying any classic car, especially something as desirable as a wing car or an LS6 Chevelle. Thank for the information, love the videos!

    Thanks for the Petty blue education Bob. If l should be so lucky to find a Petty blue bird, I'll be sure to confirm that info 😉

    A lot of people, regardless of collector car buy without due diligence or having it inspected. You’re buying an investment, as they say with the market don’t invest in something you know nothing about. Little leg work now saves a ton of headaches later. Love the channel 👍

    Bob, your channel is always informative and interesting. Keep up the great work and looking out for my favorite car of all time: 70 Superbird

    It's unbelievable how many VIN swapped cars are floating around as well as totally made up cars.
    Last year a FM3 Panther Pink 72 Challenger popped up for sale, stamped clear as day on the Fender Tag. I asked the man about it, since that's not a possible color to have, and he said "I just wrote down whatever I wanted on the car. The build date is even my birthday!". All the options on that tag were faked and it was then being marketed as so.
    There's absolutely nothing wrong with having a tribute/clone. There's a lot wrong making up a car and marketing it as something it's not.

    Years ago I almost purchased, what I thought was a 70 Challenger R/T. It was obvious that it was not an R/T but to some kid looking from a distance through rose colored glasses, thank God I sobered up.

    Hey Bob, great informative video! If you take the number of Superbird's or Daytona's that were produced and subtract off the ones that were used in NASCAR, how many are we left with? Or were the NASCAR cars not counted in the production numbers?

      Well, if we use 1920-1930 Birds and 375 Daytonas (my estimate, not public estimate) thats about 2300 plus or minus. I would guess, without knowledge of accuracy, that there are 70% of Daytonas (more desirable at the time) and 50% of Birds, so today around 1,100 wing cars left.

    Hopefully anyone who is considering buying that car sees this, or already knows what to look for.
    I like to give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Hopefully the seller isn't trying to deceive, and just doesn't know, or care how original the car is.

    Do you think it was even a real superbird?

  • @indianadave8881
    @indianadave8881 Рік тому +2

    So Bob, I watched this again...
    Did you confirm that the other car was actually a Superbird? Just wondering if the color is all that's in question, or if the whole car was a clone or fake.

    This is what I miss about the late '60s though the mid '70s. Almost no one cared, and as such, real cars/fake cars, it didn't matter. And no one was paying astronomical prices that got hurt by fakes. If you wanted an L88 Corvette, you built one. A $1500 to $2000 old Corvette, preferably with a dead motor, a $500 OTC L88, and you had what you wanted.
    Today, almost any neat car is going to run you $100,000 or much more, and if you find it is a fake, you lose your shirt on it.

    I guess I missed the part where the owner of the car you're speaking of was claimed to be original. Without that claim none of this matters.
