I've seen this car plastered over every forum and read quite a bit of commentary and reviewed the BaT ad several times. What I can't get beyond is it's a Fremont car, yet has a vin. stamp above the oil filter and the head mating surface has been decked. Viewing the stamp, it's digits are of different size, and EVERY vin. I've seen in '69 has identical size digits, without exception. This leaves ALL credibility off the table. It's a Fremont car which I've had over a dozen in my possession and still have 3 that have fremont engines, 2 are original. I've never, and it's been widely known and documented on "chevellestuff" that fremont has 0 examples of this procedure. All partial vins are stamped on the head mating surface. Then there's the crisp build sheet that I'll fully admit, I'm no expert, but I see 0 evidence of this sheet being wrinkles, discolored, or any other markings that are consistent with a sheet residing in the door panel, under the carpet, or in the seat springs where 99% of them have been tossed. Then there's the name Chris White, who is a well respected authority, one of only 4 that I put as indisputable to the '70 models' authentication and Chris is well versed on the '69s as well. I have spoken many times with Chris, he knows his shit and can work most of his knowledge into a conversation without searching. Chris is mentioned as documenting this car. That, to the best of my knowledge has been hearsay, and not proven. Chris hasn't contributed to these discusssions. So I suspect a bit of foul play and misrepresentation in his name. I'd respond to TC's discussion but somebody devalued my contributions awhile back, so here I am. Anyway, the bidding has not garnered what an uber rare car would garner, so maybe those that know are just silent on the matter, who knows. Anyway, a couple here have seen this and are privy, so I thought it's worth posting.
