Eddie, Frankly unless there is some good documentation indicating its originality, I'd have to believe this is a clone. The missing door tag is the sour milk smell. If it is a clone, it's worth the sum of its parts plus some for labor. That would add up to more like $20k -- and even then, all of the issues raised would have to be right. If it is original, I'd want some sort of proof -- like a photo trail from the family(ies) that owned it before, or some original documents, etc. You should offer the seller some of your stock for upgrading it as needed. -- Marc "Eddie Stakes" <eddiestakes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> said: >>Marc there are a number of issues with this vehicle.
