Provenance is getting tougher to validate as our cars get older and the previous owners pass away.

About 15 years ago, I heard about a burned RS shell supposedly for sale in South America - with the seller assuming the VIN stampings would be 'harvested' and reapplied. Recently, I was told a friend of a friend had "all the correct number stamps" for a chassis... 2 years ago, a top-tier dealer sold an RS with a clearly restamped case (undisclosed).

I have to agree, the fakes are bubbling up at an increasing rate, even if the prices aren't rising as aggressively as before.

Here, here.

A true paper trail adds value.
Provenance and documentation left to the imagination of someone with an ulterior motive ends up badly every time.

Aren't there 7 Shadow Can Am cars racing in vintage now, or something around that number, even though only 5 existed back in the day?!
There's a very prominent RSR that was rebuilt whole cloth from only a tub..........if that..........
Truly buyer beware!!

That car has been in a couple of very high end shops. I suspect it's as close to being a clone as it gets.

I also know it's going to be very expensive.

Is that the Classic Porsche #11 cover car?
Ex Juan Carlos Bolanos?

Sure looks better now than it did 10 years ago

No Sale at $56,000.

Are Your Brake Pads Getting Hot Enough?

That was a generous offer considering the condition and it being a track car.

I don't get it where is the extra value on that car? I would estimate $50k-60k is well sold??

I can't see anything over $56,000 on that car. I think he should have grabbed the cash. The next offer may be less.

Now for something unique.

BaT says it's a '65 and it was originally a coupe. Bids should be interesting.
