I sometimes see people trying to fake shit. I'll see someone has stuck an M badge on a non M Bimmer. I know the difference.
What is the point of sticking a badge that doesn't belong? Who do they think they are fooling?
I suppose they fool all sorts of people.
Then, there are replica cars and tribute cars, there are people who will take a stock Nova and upgrade it - and put the SS badge on it.
Always verify the ViN, folks. Always verify it. (Or use a reputable auction house that verifies the VPN - multiple times, once at listing and once when closing the sale.) I had one car not get delivered because the VIN turned out to be wrong. Mecum does pretty good research, but all auction houses end up taking a car back here and there.
I did see something on the mecum site that you have 72 hours to return the vehicle
