You need SOMETHING to hold the VIN Tag on…………….
Maybe they ran out of rosette rivets that day.

That does not look anything like a factory vin tag or rivets. Dennis

If the precision spent on the tag and it's fastening is typical of the precision used in the restoration, I would not simply be concerned about the car's authenticity.

Its been relisted under a different seller, and they are not posting a photo of the vin tag.

Without due diligence someone will buy that car and sooner or later the VIN issue will resurface and that will be a very huge problem

Wanna bet that paper is real or not?

Sad isin't it
Makes finding a real car that much harder. I suggest anyone buying an old corvette, post photos and any other info. for members to look at. The combined knowledge here is awesome. Unfortunately not every buyer is aware of this Forum, some find the Forum after they have found issues...still good.
