QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Jan 25 2022, 08:18 AM)  ...somewhere down the line someone will buy that car and then flip it under the misrepresentation that it is something it is not. That . . . is what we just witnessed in the BaT auction. ...demonstrating the value of knowledge bases like this forum. I know that if I were to ever sell a "restored" or concourse car as anything other than "it's a mongrel", I'd put it on this forum first and let you guys tear it to shreds while I take copious notes. Watching y'all go over BaT listings is like those NatGeo shows of wolves tearing into a still-barely-breathing gazelle...horrifying yet fascinating... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) |

QUOTE(Superhawk996 @ Jan 24 2022, 01:37 PM) This has been argued before. VIN swapping is unethical and it is not legal. It's pretty simple really. Race cars get into different territory since they often aren't registered with the state and are a means to an end on the track. I don't know sanctioning body rules on VIN swapping. Is there a class where it the vintage 914/6 VIN would be required? If not, someone just paid 914/6 pricing for a 914/4 with an illegally pasted on VIN. Only arena from a racing perspective that it might come into an issue would be the invite-only races where historic pedigree is required like a Rennsport Reunion. This car had a shunt on track and was repaired. End of story. Its a track car. |

The mystery is solved, it was "race car repaired" back in the day when a damaged 914-6 was only worth a couple grand...Make it race worthy and go!
