Re: Original vs Correct,, New Body Acceptable?
We realy only need full disclosure to identify crooks. That is where the rubber meets the road IMO. The crooks are those that knowingly do not provide full acurate disclosure of the cars specifics in order to mislead a buyer.
Move the VIN and you are a crook, end of story. There is no legitimate reason to move a VIN to a different body. Moving a VIN is a LOT easier than a full resto so it just ain't gonna ever be that easy. If it were acceptable, nobody would restore a worn out car. Tag switch would be too easy.
We can get pretty hung up on "original" but in reality we endeavour to make our cars "look" a certain way, but they will never truly be "original" again, we just try to make them LOOK and run that way.
"Repainted" is just as "un-original" as "restamped". [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] (OH BOY, I actualy got enough courage to finaly say it). It is your car, do what ever makes you happy but don't lie about it.
Go ahead, type away!
