And only works if you've got a 67-72 model year. AFter that the factory used a landscape format.

Hmmm, maybe I should post an ad:

"Will spill coffee on your original document- $69.95

Will supply an original document of my choosing (old newspaper or mazagine, depending on what the wife wants to get rid of first) and then spill coffee on it- $99.99.

Handling and shipping- $17.95.

Forum discount- 15%"

Do they include a new tank with the document or a used looking one?

I think that he's betting on it being a bargain to the guy who would want to buy it cause it's obviously intended to be used to sell a car.

Unfortunately there is some truth to exactly that--they have made such a premium out of the "tank sticker" "having the documents" and blah blah blah that you knew it had to happen---now some NCRS guy will come on a say they have a Carbon 14 test or whatever to tell the "real GM paper"

It doesn't really suprise me that much. If there is any money to be made out there, you can be darn sure that someone will capitalize on it, whether it is ethical or not.

How to make your clone authentic in 5 easy steps? I spent $180 dollars and increased the value of my car by $20k. That's a great investment.

This just helps dealers like ProTeam to ask ridiculous sums for "documented " cars.

This whole originality thing is such a crock.

I don't need to - just got my window sticker from the National Corvette Museum and I have the original Manifest for my 81 - it came in a packet of "original" documents that the previous owner had. I tried to get the Museum to enlarge and laminate it but they won't touch someone elses papers, only what they can get from the Bowling Green plant. My car btw was out of St. Louis. (Oh here is what the museum will do - if you have your manifest (tank sticker) make a copy of it, fax or e-mail it to the museum, they will send it out to a 3rd party and have the window sticker re-created just like the original on GM paper and laminate it and send it back to you).

I would do it listing my current modifications as a joke if the price was less that $20 shipped.

Yeah,, I'd have to agree with you on that point,,, cant stand people making bogus cars original after they have swapped this that and the other then return it to "factory original" when they want to bail out,,,,,,,,,money hungry
