So there could be more than 1 car made from the original, that would cause a fight
That's the case with the Silver Bullet here in Detroit. One car is the original body, another car (built almost identically) has the original engine...
I see no conflict there one "IS" the car the other is not. The motor has no bearing
I'm not doubting the car we are talking about is the real Motown car at all & like everyone else here I would like to see it back in it's original as raced condition some day soon but I was trying to get your opinions on how much of a car you need to do a full restoration. I don't really get the whole "re-body" thing, once you have re-bodied a car I think it is not the same car anymore. I hear of so many cars (especially convertables) that get "restored" buy replacing most of the panels, glass fittings etc from a one owner low mile 6 or 318 car, so is the convertable still "factory original after that?
Some of these old race cars have a hard life & were left in quite a state before they were saved from the crusher (thankfully!) & now there are some show examples that look way better than they ever did, with some even looking tidier than the Sox & Martin cars did in their day & man they were (and still are) some of the neatest looking cars ever to race.
