Looks to be a nicely done car.

No affiliation, just thought I would share.

In the end, cars with “stories” will always be worth less, until the story is left untold, or when the original is so scarce that storied cars rise to fill the void. Like we’ve seen on some 4s, there comes a point where some original 4s will fetch more than a storied 6. The cycle perpetuates. The issue is when disclosure is not made.

i look forward to the day when all the versions are valued.

an original car, to be honest, is of true historical technological value as a genuine museum piece. its like looking at the apollo 11 command module.
how was it done. what did they do to weld it? etc etc.
one day we will have forgotten how america got to the moon - and they f$cken well did.
the only way you will know is to access the ruin, ie the junk nasa has stacked up down there at the johnson space centre in houston. my favourite place.
when i was there circa 90, through contacts, i got to view a moon ready LM that was never sent. its hanging in an exhibition space down at cape canaveral now. blew my tiny miniature antipodean mind.

the car being discussed here is totally japanese except for one thing, the compulsion to shift the vin numbers. in japan they would probably worship the act of transferring the mechanicals to another body without shifting the tattoos. you cannot move the skin tattoos in japan. but the idea has been kept eternal?

where we f%ck up, and its just my dumb opinion as a dopey aussie is we worship the original for all the wrong reasons. the mantra seems to be "its original".
yeah, so what?
you only need an original if you want to access the tech or technique of how they did it when they did back in the 70s.

this car for sale is a good car, its a samurai sword?
except for one mistake.
