Yes, this was a rebroadcast of an earlier auction. There were/are a number of issues suggested about this car that have come to light that could be heading for legal action...if you believe what you read on different camaro websites. Apparently, the 2nd owner sold the vin tag, cowl tag, & upper hidden vin off of the car that was presumably beyond restoration. Many years later, these same items were sold on ebay (around 2003). Several years later, the VIN appears on a restorable Camaro body sold for $128k at the BJ auction in Vegas.
As for the photos, how can a car have a license plate already attached to it on the day of purchase?? I realize that, in some states, you keep the same license plate regardless of the car, but I do not know how common that was back on November 15th, 1968 in Valier, MT where the car was originally purchased (according to the Protect-O-Plate). There appears to be some fraud going on with "desirable" classic cars and arrests have been made in other states of individuals restoring cars and "misrepresenting" their pedigree.
