Do you really think if a basket case such as this with aftermarket parts (and a lot of them) most likely mig welded is any different than adding Superbird parts to a 70 Belvedere that was rust free?
Yep...
Because if the cowl, and core support numbers remain intact, it still gives provenance that it is indeed the real thing...
Along with the rest of the documentation..
and the obvious difference in initial price tag.
This whole discussion about "original" had me laughing (yet again) the other day. I was presenting a proposal to a woman who lives in an Eichler home. In Calif it was a "mid century modern" style home built in the mid 50's -mid 60's.
They are pieces of crap! 2x6T&G roof over exposed post and beam construction, 1/4" PLYWOOD on the walls, NO sheetrock, and ZERO insulation.
This woman was all out of sorts because to change the ALUMINUM wiring we would have to remove the wood paneling and new stuff just would not look right to a potential buyer!
Nevermind all the other non original stuff , like HVAC ducting exposed on the roof after the in the slab boiler heat finally failed.
Too much emphasis placed on "original" stuff. Did anyone notice the $$$ flying out at the January auctions for "restomod" style cars?????????
