Default Re: Judge VIN tag put on regular GTO, opinions please.

Touchy subject.
We don't seem to mind replacing virtualy any or all the sheet metal on a car for restoration purposes but frown upon tagging a car even if it would make for a better resto.

If you found a totally rusted out '69 L78, Z28, pace car or COPO with all original dated components & swapped them into a rust free body it wouldn't be a "original", even if you went as far as swapping the front cowl & with the VIN, but if you find one without any of the original components & you built one you could sell it as "original". Isn't this is a bit goofy? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]
There must be a lot of cars that have been swapped out & sold. How can you tell? All those Tags with VIN's on ebay are obviously being used with that intent, we all know that & of course it comes down to money. But how do you prove it?

We would all want the original body but with todays welding technology & a good bodyman I think you'd never know.
