Original vs Correct,, New Body Acceptable?

[70 copo]

Toner,

The debate goes on... At first the answer for most is NO.

But...

Original factory quarters are date coded on the inside where they meet the trunk. If the dates are inconsistant with the build of the car then that is a dead givaway that the car has been requartered. The point that I am making here is that if a guy goes to enough trouble to fake an expensive car then the doner rebody will have original sheetmetal - that will pre-date the build of the car that is being re bodied - in a manner consistant with production timeframes for the build of the original car.

Again-- Buyer beware. the buyer has to know what it is that he/she is buying. Research is the most important part here. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
