What if your car is a 6 and the right corner is crushed? You need to replace the wheelhouse. Is it ok to the purest here to continue to call the car a 6 or does that erase the car as 6 and it becomes nothing of value? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
The fact is there is only 3100ist factory 6 cars built. Over the years they were wrecked and rusted. If a guy owns a factory 6 and chooses to restore it in a manor using "Like - Kind - and Quality" parts how does it matter how many parts are needed. It is still a restoration or repair of a rightfully owed factory 6. How you choose to value it personally does not change the fact that when a limited production car becomes rare enough and either rusted or damaged enough (or both) it become worth the investment to repair the car. Sometimes it takes a lot of parts, sometimes it doesn't. |

What if your car is a 6 and the right corner is crushed? You need to replace the wheelhouse. Is it ok to the purest here to continue to call the car a 6 or does that erase the car as. 6 and it becomes nothing of value? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Well, there is the windshield vin and the build plate in the door jam. Nether of which it seems this car has, since, well, its been rebodied. And then again, there are cars built up from just VIN plate. The value is in the VIN, and I would presume that the reason this car was rebuilt was because it started life out as a 6. Its also possible that the desire to build a 914/6 racecar and needing the 914/6 VIN to be allowed for the mods done?.. ie, can't build a 4 into a 6, but had to start with a 6? I would liken it to this analogy: "Look here's the ax George Washington used to chop down the cherry tree.. all original, except the handle has been replaced 4 times and the blade twice." Would you call that the original ax? In the end, this car is a mutt.. and therefore perfect as a track car. It has value as a racecar and as a sum of its part. To me the rebodying muddies value as its not the original 6 chassis that left the factory and was modified for racing.. its a 4 chassis that's been badged a 6 for racing. |
