Quote: This same "withholding information" scenario happened in Australian mopar circles with the Aussie Charger R/T's. A half dozen guys had the paperwork on all the R/T's produced. People had to beg and plead to get info on their cars. That all came to a halt when the paperwork was finally published on the internet. Crazy thing was those half dozen guys holding the info were the main ones rebodying cars and stamping engine blocks. They made out like bandits with cars pulling up to $150k Au. Just give the guy his damn dealership info. It's not hard.
The R/T information coming out on the internet did not stop rebodys being done at all. The huge increase in price of the cars into the 6 figure range fueled it I am sure...even though it happened back when the cars were worth far far less as well...just like it did with Phase II and III Falcons and Bathurst Monaros.
Greed fuels that, be the information like with the Chargers being harder to come by or not, there still was and would continue to be shady stuff going on. The fact a lot more people can easily find out the history of any VIN might make it easier to clone one nearly you'd think... (If one had an E49 compliance tag for example...just look up what the specs on the car were and built one to match )
