It's in the registry and last noted in Florida.

Registry should be updated......

The data plate itself is a made up one due to the strange codes. It is interesting that they would not use their new serial number on this plate.

This is actually one of the main reasons WHY Unique is no longer in business AND the owners have faced CRIMINAL charges.

Unique was based in Texas - which has very specific laws about vehicle serial numbers.

They got caught swapping out "salvage title" serial numbers with "good" ones - as BIG no-no in Texas. Not sure of the motive here, but probably to enhance the "value" of the cars.

Unique was not producing "NEW" cars - they were using old cars as the base - therefore they could not use their own serial number system - they had to stick with the orignal FoMoCo serial number. Plus I don't think they were licensed as a "Vehicle Manufacturer" - something that would be necessary to apply a serial number and get it approved by the Texas DMV.

A lot of buyers got burned paying big depositis up front and got nothing in return when they folded.

I would check the stampings on this car or request verification before even bidding - just in case.

I'd also want to see the car in person - fit - finish - and other details look a little off to me for a car with only 7000 miles and climate controlled storage AND a price tag this high.
