Mark,
Well said and thanks for speaking up. This is one of the things, which make this such a great site!

I do not know the owners, restorers or even the car, in question so my response is not directed at them.

I just can't believe how naive some people can be. While "air" cars are not limited to Canadian doced cars there certainly has been a preponderance of them recreated in Canada, over the years.

While is seems that I may be in the minority, I'd rather have a car with a pedigree and verifiable history than one with no/questionable history and a stack of docs.

The car should be evaluated/stand on its own with docs as support.

While it would be ideal for all these cars to be "Survivors" with complete docs, the brutal facts are that such cars are a very select percentage of the total population.

Also, Since when is it not OK to ask a valid question regarding a car which is publicly for Sale? Since when do I have to post my balance sheet or financials in order to ask a valid question?

I have purchased more than one car from different members on this board which did not have an original trim tag.

Some reasons were known up front and easily explained while other reasons were not found out till years later.
