Did I miss who the well known mopar guy was that originally did all of this mentioned on the first page or was that not public?

Plum Crazy RT, I am glad you were able to recover your funds and bring attention to what the car actually is. Its still a cool car that I would be happy to own but it must be priced accordingly and disclosed to any potential buyer.

One thing from all this that I do not understand is the re-stamped cowl and radiator support. In the picture of the radiator support it is clear even to a novice that it was re-stamped and should have raised some suspicion?

Was this over looked when you purchased the car or did the seller have a convincing explanation for the re-stamp?

@redgum78 . You need to read the entire thread. The picture of the vin restamp is a photograph I found inside the car after I purchased it.. please read entire thread............

Hey mate, firstly please don't take my comment the wrong way, I am so glad you recovered your money and commend you on raising this and following up with the auction house.

I did read the whole thread, it was lengthy and I possibly misunderstood some aspects of it so this is just me trying to understand.
In the picture you found its pretty clear that the numbers were re-stamped. Sounds like the re-stamp was not as obvious on the vehicle as it was on the photo?

I think the question is, What did the stampings look like when you bought the car ? Did you personally inspect it, or pay for an inspection before you bought it ? If you didn't find the picture where in this story would we be ?

[plum crazy rt]

@redgum78 I inspected the car in person. It was not evident that the car had been re-stamped. The only way I found out was by the picture in the center console. The guy I bought it from restored many Mopars in the past and actually won the Mopar Nationals back in the day with a hemi charger. Up to that point he had a good rep in the Mopar community. One of the stars from GYC actually vouched for him w/ out knowing himself the car was a re-stamp.

Yup: I've dealt with a few upstanding members of the Mopar community that I won't deal with again.

I understand now, obviously further attempts to hide the re-stamps were made after the photo was taken.

Is this the same tweetie bird?
