I ran across this video that Mopars 5150 posted and cringed a bit as it sure looks familiar to a car that was "outed" on the forums 10 or more years ago for being fake.
I was going to comment on the video but I don't know the VIN of that fake and I don't want to get piled on or sued. But the fake hemi was the same color and came out of Canada.  @6bblgt do you remember the fake '71 hemi Challenger I'm talking about?

Same color car, advertised in Texas sometime 10 or so years ago, outed on Moparts or cuda-Challenger for being a complete fraud.  I can't say it's the same car,  but it sure looks like the car I remember from then!

Thanks Dan, I was close. Not a completely fake car, just a rebody with a fake tag. Call it 95% fake! One to stay away from!

I read it was originally GF7 rather than GF3. Are there any photos of the car before resto?
