I recently heard this mentioned elsewhere, I had never heard about it before
or at the time, very interesting. I obviously need a list of produced VIN
and engine numbers and certain ID features- I'd like to think I could spot a
phony, it depend on how good it was done, and why would anyone want to pay
to produce one when a real one could be genuinely restored? With a list, if
I ever come across a VIN that wasn't officially listed with MB, (and no
official VIN changes records were availible) I could verify whether a W123
is phony or not. (Sorry, I only need the W123 info, I consider the other
chassis "not my specialty, not my business, and certainly not my subject to
which I should be considered any kind of authority of information", you may
have to get used to that quirk of my car passion personality!)

How soon we forget - the Nigerian scam-artists tried to convince us they
were
re-making w123s over 3 years ago. Don't you remember, all of them would be
fitted with OM616.912 motors, and wagons would have leaf springs in the
back...
