Restamping blocks??????????????
So what are peoples take on this? IF an original body IS located, yet motor and trans long gone, is it ok to restamp the block/cases and pass it off as numbers matching???? Is it legal to knowingly restamp a block and say it's the original? Like swapping tags???
Reason is for this: https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/ubbt...lle#Post611156 As I said in this thread, "In a case where a high value car (such as this Chevelle) the re-stamp or "matching numbers" only leads to one thing, HIGHER SALE PRICE. I personally look at cars that are "NUMBERS MATCHING" as born with parts and therefore more original and subsequently worth or valued higher. " Seem quite obvious that the block has been restamped since they went there separate ways years ago. BUT yet advertised as "numbers matching" now https://www.mecum.com/lot-detail/SC0...COPO-Chevelle/ BUYER BEWARE I guess!!!!!!!!!!!
