My two fav 914World argumentatations: - Which size tire should I run; - What's your opinion on the Ship of Theseus philosophy? "Ship of Theseus" is about slowly, overt time, replacing defective parts until the whole ship has been replaced. That is not even remotely close to taking a later model bare chassis (they didn't even bother to use a '70 chassis) and simply grafting a /6 vin into the front fender. One is a philosophical question about the passage of time and the inevitable decay of matter, the other is a (intentional) criminal act. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) |

One is a philosophical question about the passage of time and the inevitable decay of matter, the other is a (intentional) criminal act. This is why I love this discussion... - What is the required "passage of time" where this practice is acceptable to you? - What is the timeline in this particular case? I can only presume, given the accusations of criminal intent, you have proof of that timeline and intent? - By stating "decay" am I safe in assuming you agree that replacing parts on crashed cars happening quickly counts, in context, as much as wood in a ship rotting over extended time? If not, why not? - Show me one historical race car that has all of its original bits n pieces. Even better, show me one that does not. (BTW, you may find that our positions on the practice - for street cars, at least - agree but that our philosophies may not. That's why such philosophical discussions are so fun). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) GA Edit: just read the above reply, where the seller states it's the original chassis. If you guys are correct that many bits are indicating a later chassis, then I admit the above statement approaches a big misunderstanding, if not outright fraud. Problem with a race car, though, is that there may very well be a good chunck of the chassis that's original but got replaced with later-model bits after crashes. That's where the philosophy comes in: how much of the original is required? Does one non-/6 part in a race car disable it as a /6, even with the original VIN? What if, for example, it was a factory race car that was crashed in 1973 and the factory chose to replace the parts with new parts off the line? |
