Can you believe the after fact??
or is it a HOAX?
Cycledrags reporting that Mecum canceled the buyer’s bid due to the frame neck numbers are skeptical!
I don’t get this one???
all that time, work, so-called documentation??
someone out of the hundreds of lookers had to see this!
I can stamp better neck #’s than that.

anyone have any updates??

If Mecum's is reporting the engine numbers correctly, then I would question the engine numbers as they report 6 digits after the Z2E...there should only be 5 digits...there is an extra leading '0'.

So, I checked my Z2A and it does have 6 digits for the numerical portion of the engine and I was in error in my earlier post...the cycledrag video does appear to show a tampered frame number...that takes the bottom out of the value of that Z2A...and the kickstarter does appear to have an odd angle to it...maybe it was just perspective, or maybe not.

If they don't recognize it for what it is or isn't, the friends they're trying to impress probably don't either.
