Up to the community. That decision is way above my pay grade. Registrar just needs direction on:
1. Drivetrain - who will be determining if it's original versus re-stamp? Are we going to lean on an expert certification, or just take the registrant's word for it?
2. Docs - who will determine original docs versus re-pro? Also, what docs (or combination of docs) suffice? Again - are we going to lean on an expert analysis, or just take the registrant's word for it?
If we move all cars without known original engine stamps and/or known original factory/dealer documents - we move about 80% of the cars to the "maybe" registry. If we require that all stamps and/or docs be certified - we have to move a lot more cars to "maybe". IMO - we placed the disclaimer there for a reason - mistakes can (and will) happen. If the subject car does not have ZL2 (and the firewall isn't cut up), then it's a mistake. The car has been on the CRG DB as a COPO since 2011. Our registry does not accept all COPOs on the CRG DB carte blanche - but with knowledgeable inspection we have. We can add a column that indicates "factory documents and/or original engine", but someone will have to provide the list of the appropriate cars that qualify. Right now, we have engine date stamps & docs in the DB, but no certification as to originality.
For what it's worth, we have already added 3 columns to the public registry to briefly reveal the cars pedegree. Maybe you guys can discuss this subject at MCACN and provide additional direction.
