1966 L72 listed on hemmings
I know this car very very well. I would strongly encourage those interested to contact both Bloomington and NCRS and pay the small free for judging records on this vehicle. At the very least, hire Bill Calarico to inspect the trim tag. The restoration is older, but still maintained very well.

Dang. I have a real L72 car but can’t find the original motor!!!
its funny (and appropriate) that any time a BB or FI car comes up for sale, it’s questioned and usually, a “tribute”, ahem, fake.
in 2002, a fellow named Scott Bonar posted on NCRS stating he had an L72 with my vin derivative. He was looking for the car which at the time, was sitting in a barn. It probably long blown up by now.

I am surprised you say a phony trim tag is illegal. I can understand a sale being fraudulent because the car was misrepresented, like being sold as a real big block and the trim tag was changed to fool buyers. Apparently you know something we don't know as you had a dispute about a Texas car sale and got your money back! What puzzles me is what cars besides Corvettes even have a trim tag? I'm not trying to be argumentative but am curious to know more.

I stand corrected. I had assumed that the seller sold it to you not knowing the car was fake because it was an old restoration. I assumed that he bought it unknowing. Once revealed, he bought it back.

every car or truck made by Fisher Body for GM has a cowl tag just like a trim tag on a Vette. Mopars had a fender tag that list all the options. not sure on Fords

Oklahoma is the only state I'm aware of that has legislation specifically written to make fraudulent TRIM TAGS a felony; the law was written about eight years ago by one of our CRG (Camaro Research Group, www.camaros.org) members, who happens to be an attorney and has been involved in numerous collector car fraud cases. The Feds don't care about trim tags, nor do the other 49 states.
