Default A (un)Real Toxic Asset

I found this car for sale at one of the local collector dealer's websites. Be sure to read the description.

It's not surprising, though. I know there are guys out there that farm tags for a living, and somewhere in the world, there's probably a real Hemi 'Cuda convertible that's dead because someone stole the tags. As many high dollar cars as I've seen just in my little corner of the world missing not only the tags, but the body stamps, I know it has to be widespread, and I would bet that there are many more fakes out there than anyone realizes.

"So basically the cars identity was completely stripped and removed and was made to look like a REAL '70 HEMI 'Cuda Convertible. Probably done not to deceive people, but rather make it as close to the real thing as you can get"

Well at least they didn't swap tags to decieve people, just did it for accuracy.

Could have done it as a helpful example to the hobby illustrating how easy it is to counterfeit stuff ...

Just what is an "Authentic Recreation"? Is that anything like a genuine fake?
Just asking.

"So after all of that painstaking hard work he went through to make this car seem as real as it could, the car has been brought back to what it really is."
