It would certainly help your credibility. I find that a lot of people are envious and don't own whatever it is they're criticizing whether it's a old Corvette or a Luger or sniper rifle and so they question the Integrity of other people's possessions. It's just pure envy and a violation of the 10th commandment. The world is full of so-called experts that have never owned the item that they're critiquing. They are envious little men. They yell these are the wrong valve covers they say about your Corvette and they're driving a Honda. It's the same way with sniper rifles and other cool things. The Have Nots always have something unpleasant or snotty to say about their betters.

I learned quite a bit about fakery with Corvettes. I owned 19 since 1973. The fakers know all the tricks. Some stampes/markings are cast out/Postive, some are marked negative/stamped in. They are good at faking both. Now it matters much less since many want a resto-mod, not original. I miss every car, some really bad. Had a 54 matching frame off restored, a 56 frame off restored, two four barrels., two 57s both dual 4s and miss the one I sold really bad. I started with a 58 mess but it was pretty when I traded it for a 66 427/450HP car. The remaining 57 was bob gold's living room car, bob was Barret Jackson's predicessor. Then on to a two 61s, the 66, a 67 big block with air and leather, side pipes, etc.. Got two 69 big blocks, one with air and 20K Miles, frame off restored. Kept a 59 matching 59 Fuel Injected for a few years.Taded the big ; block 427 for a 63SW couple in Daytona blue, 340 HP, frame off restored, the car I wanted for 30 years and predicted it was the king of the mid years, not the 67. I was right. They average $250k for one of that quality now and a dealer offers me big money every few months. Hey, I was dying for one since 1963. best Covette ever. i nearly bought another, almost a twin but FI, 39K miles, used on thunder road, Robert M and son here in the mtns of NC and TN. It was a mess, hit right front. was fixed right and sold really cheap not long after i passed.. Bet the Feds had a heck of a time trying to catch it. Then I had to have a new 84
+anin 84 as I finished Anesthesia, traded for a 86, got the 84 back later. Tried a 94 LT1 but the best ever on the road, and I ran thunder rd the moonshine hwy between Asheville, Nc and Knoxville, TN, was the first 57 with a Banjo Mathews balanced and blue printed 327 400 plus HP engine. Banjo was NASCAR guy. Nobody ever kept up with me in it or my 66. I came out of a side road near WCU on US 107(thunder road and were Robert M. lost it in the movie, great movie. I gunned it and at about 80 I saw a Jackson county sheriff at a gas station. I floored it. He did not even attempt a pursuit. Bet I would have cleaned his clock or I would have let off and took a big ticket. We were at the heart of NASCR and we had cars that were running 167 mph on the highway. This is 1070 and recaps and I know this is swuat these days by try it with 60 muscle car with recaps. This is 1970 when I was running a 66 396 chevelle. Yes, they should have locked me up but they never caught me.
I am glad I still have what I have but I miss my long gone Vettes
I wondered a bit but the moral is, if it is valuable fackery will always improve. Beware.
