Re: Rebodied cars and do they get certified
Seems like this thread loops. There are posts from page one here on page 19!
I bought a 68 442 from the original owner, numbers match, got the Protect-O-Plate and even found a broadcast sheet. Being a Canadian car it can be even documented through GM Vintage Vehicle Services. As much as it pained me, I parted it out. It came from Ontario, and the salt really did a number on it. It needed sheetmetal (except the firewall) and even the frame had nasty rot. Am I nuts? I'd like to think not. My older brother (he's an a--hole) suggested that we grab a nicely restored IDENTICAL local twin - it was even the correct green w/blk vinyl roof. I still had the motor/trans, how hard would it have been? BTW, I still have the tags, but I've stamped XXXXXX over the last digits.
