If this is a replica and not some weird misunderstanding, this actually wouldn't be the first time someone had been screwed with a fake 1967.

This car has also been posted on the internet on various car listings from $20K up to $32K. As I write this someone has bid more than $22K for it. How exciting it would be to send off a cashier's check and get your 1967 Corvette delivered, only to discover that it isn't actually a Corvette.
Search that vin and you find that car advertised all over the net. Check the VIN against the 'Vette VIN decoder and there is no way in hell that is a 'Vette VIN. Not even remotely close. Either they have the wrong number listed or your buddy is correct and it is a clone.
