There's one born every minute.

I wonder what this seller thinks makes this car a "prototype"? Certainly not the decals, because no manufacturer spends a dime to make one-off decals to scream to the world that a car is a "prototype". LOL.

That bastard was so lazy. They just took a 1997 WS6 window sticker and did a crap job of a photoshop on it. Look at all the option prices, everything is the exact same. It even has the same destination charge, but it's been edited out on the fake one.

I just looked at the window sticker closer and it just amazes me.

$595 to remove the ram air hood and install a base version

1st gear "Diabled" and the "4l60M" is "Modifyed" written in the top left of the window sticker.

My fav part is his description:

"All modifications are not listed and are covered by contract with Street Legal Performance and GM Motor Company. This proto-type is not sold to the public and is sole property of GM Motor Div of southern California. Available mod / information is strictly prohibited."


It just amazes me how much stupid there is in the world.

Indeed. Quite a pathetic "forgery" (I'd be hesitant to call it that because it's not even close). Where's the RED INK that is on every original window sticker? And the top was cut off when he ran it through the B&W Xerox.
