Gotta make you wonder, especially with today's liberal terminology. "Matching Numbers" used to really mean something. Nowadays, it merely means whoever restamped the block used the right numbers. Without bona-fide, bullet-proof authentication by a well known specialist of the marque, nice cars might struggle on the auction block unless alcohol or tv is thrown in the mix. There are exceptions, however, but not the norm. Most of us know the truth and accept it for what it is: that these cars were built for racing and if by chance a specimen DID survive and still retains the "born-with" driveline components it SHOULD fetch more money.
