The problem I have is that the car will not withstand the scrutiny of a detailed inspection. Compare broadcast sheets, billing history, PHS, VIN and vehicle and it will have a mismatch somewhere. The number of complete correct cars is small and continually shrinking and it's far better to rebuild than scrap but call it what it is. The history of that car needs to include whatever it takes to keep it alive, not to be hidden in hope that no one will ever know.

One of the coolest car show display I saw was at Rochester last year, a nice but not perfect Camaro. The owner had a photo album stretching back about 15 years, the car was rescued from a collapsed barn, and was total trash. He saved it, restored it, and drives it. That makes it more interesting than the average car. It's part of that car's history.
