Judge VIN tag put on regular GTO, opinions please.

[Steve_Hoog]

I had a friend that had a very nice and original type Judge RAIV, it wasn't his fault but it got wrecked really bad from the rear. It was so far gone that the body shop talked him into replacing the entire body and frame, then sticking his VIN tag on the regular GTO along with all the Judge stuff and drivetrain. I know this is legal in some states under certain conditions. I know that due to fire and rust this may appeal to some people too.

But I feel that at this point, it has gone too far. It's just a paper car at this point, and doesn't appeal to me. Also there is a certain amount of deception in this, whether it be in the begining of the body replacement or after time and ownership changes (where the nature of the car is conviently forgotten about).

I would like to hear some pro's and con's on this, if anyone is willing to share. I would like to know if I'm wrong compared to the majority of you.
