Default Jesse James Blue 68 Corvette

Just wondering. I got my C2 1965 Corvette 3 years ago and at the time went to visit a local guy who I know had many Corvettes over the years. He has a blue 1968 and states it is the one that Jesse James used to own. Now, I have Googled the subject and see it has even been discussed on the forum before. I see in auction it sold for about $40K. I live in Ft Lauderdale and even saw a picture of the blue car at an auto trim place local here getting some interior work done. How would I know, other than him saying it is, if this is really Jesse James old car? Is this one of those cars that comes up for sale often and people in different areas claim to have this car or is his the real deal? I am just curious and thats's why I posted this

I'd say a photocopy of the title with his name on it.

I had a Chysler Lebaron back in the day. The previous owner was John (Jon) Voight

Hi,
I thought Jesse James was killed a long time ago by a member of his own gang to collect the reward?
Regards,
Alan
