I would like to see where it was sitting.

I have one that is a way better starting point and can be had for a bit more, number matching, mostly all the original parts. What I thought was fair value as it sits now makes me thing it is a six figure car today......
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) People get what they will get for this car hope them best of luck with the sale. I looked at a worse unit in Columbus Ohio in the 90s they wanted a grand for it, and what you got was a VIN, and loads of iron oxide. I could have picked it up in my Ford Ranger, and most likely I would have taken the VIN plates and put them in the cab. That way I did not lose the part as all the rust flying out as I am driving I-70. |

That way I did not lose the part as all the rust flying out as I am driving I-70. I'll just state for the record that I recognize you have not done this and are stating it tongue in cheek. Likewise, for the record, swapping VIN's is illegal. In the eyes of the law, and those interesed in cars, their history, and collecting, there is a big difference between restoration of a /6 vehicle and it's VIN vs. cutting the the VIN out and simply pasting the parts into a good /4 donor. I'll agree in theory that in the most extreme example I've given of simply pasting a VIN the end result may not be much different than the tale of "My Grandfather's Axe". However, obscuring the orgin of a vehicle is not moral, legal, or ethical. Again to be clear, I'm using 914forme's example for illustrative purposes, not implying that he does this or would condone it. I've bought parts from him and found him to be nothing but a generous, kind soul, and all interactions with him have been seamless and I hold him in high regard. Having once been the victim of this type of VIN swapping on a supposed /6 back in the late 90's I fear that is what is likely to happen to this car in the wrong hands. |
