Hi everyone,

I will add my opinion that it should only be done for someone who has their original BCS. And, I agree with an earlier poster about keeping track of the "replacement/display" versions in an easily verifiable manner. I would not personally consider a car to be worth less if it came with a 'new' BCS along with its original.
On a personal note, I am building my own dream car out of a '74 'Cuda that will end up appearing like a '71 while probably having either a modern 6.1 HEMI or a Viper V10. I would love to have an original appearing BCS with my information on it. This would include the original 1974 VIN#, and the proper codes of the options I include, with special codes (perhaps modern ones) for the engine and trans, and custom suspension/brake systems. I would like for a line across the top to read "Custom Built to Paul's dream", for example. Perhaps with a Disclaimer and Credit by the manufacturer. This would be strictly for shows as a novelty piece. I know that a lot of other members out there would like a quality piece like this for their displays at car shows.
I'm hoping that this approach might be considered, as well.

With respect to all,
Paul
