Being from the other side of the world, could someone enlighten me with funny cars what constitites the basis for a restoration, with provenance.
Back in the early 90's when restoring Monte Carlo Rally cars was a big thing there were many versions of the same car, as body shells due to wear and tear were junked several times per season. When these cars were restored many people claimed to be the owner of the "original car ". For Funny Cars does the provenance follow the body or chassis. |

Usually the body is more important as you can always build a chassis. Over a period of years if the car is campaigned in the lower ranks after being out-dated by the sanctioning body due to safety reasons the chassis' are usually changed or modified or even destroyed. However it is nice to have both original items but it is rare unless the car was parked as a whole.......................RatPack............... .
