COPO140 - I'm just looking for the truth. Talking to old owners and getting their statements. So far it's pretty encouraging. You have posted the same thing about 9 times so far on this thread - we hear you. I'll just keep going with my investigation.

I just have a few questions since you want to get a little smart with me.1. Why do you make the statement "a large percentage of my car is 616414"? 2. Has the vin been off and re-attached to the car? And 3. Does the car retain any part of it's original firewall? Please dont skirt the issue when you make a statement like "a large percentage of my car is 616414, that's how cars begin to become real. What facts do you have?

You guys kill me; the majority of people who have posted on this thread act as if Bergy owes you some sort of justification regarding <span style="font-weight: bold">HIS</span> car. As far as I can see he has been more than patient with many of you considering the undertones of what some have said.

Bergy keep digging for the truth, I surely hope this car turns out to be what you suspect it is. As you have made clear to everyone here; you buy these cars for the enjoyment and part of your fun is doing the research. I would ignore the naysayers; as far as I can tell you don't owe anyone a thing.

I'm sure I will get flamed for this post but, I am getting tired of seeing you get beat up over something that is no ones' business but your own.

I don't think anyone is out to get Bergy personally here, but he has made statements based on circumstantial observations, other people's recollections, etc... that many are simply asking to be backed up. Its not complicated, and in the end the car will be the final spokesperson. We've seen many a car like this one turn out with some fantastic tale that somehow justifies some type of integrity, next thing ya know tags and stampings appear.

So, I think Bergy wants the car to retain as much integrity as possible, the best way to do that is by doing the three things right: 1. discussing the car in the open, before the story is fully know - can be a bit painful as we all go through the maze, but it will be better in the long run. 2. finding out the word of mouth story, even the inconsistencies. 3. eventually will take the car apart and photo it.
