194376S116831 VIN tag

[Dan A.]

evilBay has a reporting system and this is a good example of eBay doing nothing when restricted items are reported. I wonder what they would do if many people reported such an item?


Seller description of the VIN tag from 194376S116831 is interesting.

It's interesting that the seller states he had a Corvette shop for over 30 years but yet he doesn't know how to distinguish a coupe VIN from a convertible VIN!

Hmmm...sure looks like brass to me - although he says the photo doesn't do it justice(???)
and those "DD"s look like "zero zero"s?
plus "mr. midyear" doesn't know the difference between a "437" Coupe and a "467" Conv
oh well, 2 people have bid on it so far...wonder why

David, your post got in 1 minute before mine, but we both have the same observation (437 Coupe vs 467 Conv)

People will buy anything. Lots of money lacks the brains to go with it.

CAVEAT EMPTOR (Buyer BEWARE) Good old eBay, located at the intersection of GREED & IGNORANCE. Found lots of parts on eBay but you better know what your looking for, some descriptions are just ridiculous.

Believe it is a FEDERAL Felony to alter, remove, install, or sell VIN tags/plates.

If this VIN plate happens to also come with a title the options for further criminal acts are greatly expanded..

Come on guys the seller of the tag is just looking to reunite it with the car that it fell off of during a rigourus interior cleaning.
