Incomplete owner history.
No factory or dealer paperwork.
Not one original drivetrain component.

My scuncio project falls into this category. Jerry inspected it along with one of my other cars a few years ago. He concurred with what I already believed based on the assessment of the car. Like him or not, he is a well respected member of the camaro hobby. Everyone has their own comfort level, and if after performing your due diligence, a car doesn't rise to your threshold, you don't buy it. I hear what William is saying but I do agree with Stefano. In a perfect world, original drivelines and bulletproof docs are what everyone would like. The reality is, lots of these cars were beat to death and thrown away. Should I not restore my car as a copo because it's missing the above? Obviously it will never be worth what a documented, original drivetrain car would be and that's okay too. Restored cars do pose a challenge. Hopefully there are &quot;before&quot; pics and the resto is documented as such. My opinion.
