Re: russo and steel chop job camaro copo
I think they should just "brand" the ownership as a rebody, just like they do with cars that have been "totalled" in a crash. I would not consider this a "clone" or a "tribute" as it was made from a geni car. For whatever reason, it has had the body changed and the OEM VIN was place on this shell. I would say it's worth more then a clone, but not as much as a OEM COPO, somewhere in between.
I would rather see a rebody to save the car as such, a rebody of the OEM COPO or whatever, but the info should be up front. Like if the car was a total rust bucket. But at least it can be saved. Just let the market know therefore the the $$$ would reflect.
We as a group should lobby the lawmakers to do something like branding the ownership on a rebody for whatever reason, rust, crash, fire, at least it would save these from the crusher.
