<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: volspeed1970</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> ... How many Chevelles and Monte Carlos that have vins stamped on their frames had a frame swap done due to rust or crash damage? There are lots of them, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-size: 17pt">so does that mean that original drivetrain LS6 Chevelle is no longer the car it originally was</span></span>? Oh just thinking about this can give someone a headache. </div></div>

yes, that is why the premium is paid for real cars with original parts, ESPECIALLY original paint cars ...

anyone can &quot;make&quot; a car from parts, there are a LOT of them, witness the green 69 RS Z for over $100k at B-J that was a TOTAL re-body from scrap, that is one documented &quot;car in the envelope&quot; or car FROM an envelope, as it is called.

rusty, rotted cars deserve to die and their number/VIN &quot;retired&quot;, then their &quot;good parts&quot;, ie the stuff that is not rotted out, axle, engine &amp; trans can help another car live.

a dynocorn car is basically a kit car, so is anything that has had the rotted or damaged body totally replaced ... just because a portion of the roof skin is &quot;original&quot; does not make it an &quot;original&quot; car imho
