Default Re: Nice red/white/parchment L78

Not all car dealers are bad!!! I am in no way defending Flemming's.
And sad to say, "Matching Numbers" doesn't mean what it used to. Unless there are sworn affidavits or complete and comprehensive appraisals/certifications pertaining to drivetrain components, the term "matching numbers" can now be used to identify stamped/re-stamped parts that appear as factory installed originals. It is a different ballgame and I was told by a litigator in the field (off the record) that the complainant would LOSE in court if the case was based solely on that term. I find it disgusting, to say the least, that the influx of money and dishonest individuals has made our hobby/passion into a "don't let your guard down" atmosphere.
