Superbird RM23U0A175587 now has a fake fender tag?

[tan top]

 

[Aero426]

It is sad.

Faking fender tags & any other documentation lowers the monetary value of any car.

One fake item can bring the rest of the numbers into question - If one item was faked, was anything else faked?

It is a great way to make potential buyers run away, wallet intact.

Not to mention that the seller has offered various Superbirds through the years.    Calls into question his integrity.

Some people could have Integrity tap them on the shoulder & they would never recognize it for what it was.

And this is why I don't have a fender tag made for my 70 charger r/t. I'll just deal with it and hope my fender tag comes back to my car.

[Redbird]

How many Superbirds has the seller listed, and how were they equipped?

He's got others cars for sale, SS454 Chevelles that are really 307 Malibu's. I'm sure he'd sell you a Temptest or Lemans as a GTO. Scammer.

Uhhh, just devastating! has anyone contacted the League of Justice?, I know they're busy fighting real grease and grime, but surely someone can stop this nefarious villain, OR maybe you guys can form your own group of Super Zeroes that can rescue these horrific automotive tragedies by pooling your resour$e$, and return them back to their former glory of numbers matching, correct VIN/
/fender/data tags, broadcast sheets, paint daubs, column shifters, six cylinders, drum brakes, god awful drab factory colors, and anything else violated?....just a thought

I for one think fake fender tags should be a crime but your right, some one with more dollars than sense will buy this Superbird and never know that it has a fake fender tag. The folks here keeping track of them are doing the real enthusiasts a real favor. Since your so high and mighty about fakes being just as good as originals, I have a Mona Lisa over here that I painted yesterday I could sell you for a deal.

Speaking of "Mona's" (pun intended) sometimes so called "fakes" are better than the so called "real deal", these were painted in DiVinci's studio at the same time, which one's "real"?, were they painted by the same hand?, are they one and the same?

Much like the Superbird in disscusion, the "improved" version is so much better...

Lol......but entirely missing the point. Sure do what you want to your own cars.....and your clones are cool. My car could never be stock again as I have no records of how it was built and factory looking cars, cool as they are, are not for me. No ones saying he should put this back to stock...it's a far better colour than white imo and better for being a 4 speeder. But as soon as he (or anyone) trys to sell a fake or clone as something it's not then it's a very different thing. Anyone who thinks it ok to do otherwise has very low ethical standards and is clearly not someone to be trusted...which is why its illegal in most places. I'm amazed is not over there. I wonder how many on this forum have what they believe is a genuine Hemi car or Daytona but it's actually a fake due to people like this seller swapping vins and the like . I certainly don't have enough knowledge to be 100% sure like lots of you guys. In willing to bet that more than a few of you unknowingly have cars that are not the genuine thing that you think they are.

I will say this, he does state it never had an original Fender tag or any paper work, but he has data on the Repop fender tag that came from an original.  Because it is the same data as some of the posted paper work when a more honest owner had the car.  So regardless of how he states his add he is not being truthful in my opinion.  As a dealer he has harmed his reputation, so buyer beware.

As far as color not making a difference in price, that is not true.  They make a big difference in how fast a car sells and for the price.  White cars seem to be the least desireable taking much longer and at much lower price.  Even 6 pack 440 cars.  Last one I watch when I was looking to buy.  Took over a year to sell and was less than $169K.  Not $225K.

Restomod and reproduction is becoming a new norm, like it or not.  It is a shame that it isn't sold with its original tag though. 

[WINGIN IT]

First off kudos to Barry for bringing this information to the public , and for Aero for providing historical docs showing original options.

Secondly, why are there no pre-resto or resto pics showing car get taken down to show original paint and options?

[FJ5WING]

While I usually agree with Mike, I think he's off on this one. Making the changes to the car  is one thing and not the end of the world. Once you start altering the factory documentation its a whole other level of wrong and as mentioned brings the sellers honesty into question. He may or may not know of the tag changes but if he's a dealer Im sure he does and will play dumb.

[charger_fan_4ever]

Yet in his other auction for the 70 ss454 chevelle he clearly states whats been added and its a 100k price tag.
Hmmm

The great bonus to the whole Mopar community when these types of threads are posted is that the people who think faking documentation is OK feel compelled to identify themselves.

God Bless America.

How many Superbirds has the seller listed, and how were they equipped?

I remember this one a couple years ago. It seemed like a good price.

[hemi-hampton]

What some of you failed to notice is his descriptions on his cars have recently been revised after his ethics & morals were called into question. He was originally trying to play dumb until he got caught. He could have changed the 5th digit vin # to reflect a Hemi Car & have opening price at $500,000 & some people in here would think that is fine & all legit.

Odd that the fake tag could be the same as the EW1 / D32 tag EXCEPT for two details since

THERE WAS NO ORIGINAL FENDER TAG

?

[Birdflu]

Interesting read...it is what it is. 

Just curious, how in the heck does somebody come up with what appears to be the correct vehicle order number out of thin air when the original tag doesn't exist? 

[hemi-hampton]

" The text HAS changed, I wonder why?  "


I just told you why in my post above

So now is the listing saying that it could have originally been a Black Bucket, or Bench, interior; Black steering wheel; no pedal dress up; no tach; with 14" Magnum 500's & 70 series tires; and of undetermined original exterior color too? I tried to read the listing, maybe I just don't understand?
