Barrett-Jackson apparently was not fully informed of the extent of the rebody. I was told it has been pulled from the auction.

Glad the owner always wanted to keep the car when I was trying to buy it numerous times
Lordy lordy!!
Over 30yrs locating these cars and never ever repped rebody cars,specially knowing it's a rebody!!
Not everyone can say that! 😉

Can I get some clarification on the term “rebody”? My understanding is a rebody would be the section of car from and including the firewall to and including the tail light panel, floor
pan, roof, quarters. Is this the case for this car? Or are the sections replaced on the firewall with different hidden VINs?

There seems to be varying levels of re-body and/or non re-body.

My feeling is that if the owner saved everything he possibly could of the original car including original panels with VIN, cowl tag and any hidden VINs, then it would NOT be a rebody.

If no attempt was made to save any of the original parts/ body panels with numbers, and another car was used to just ‘swap’ the numbers, than that would be a re-body.

That being said, there are cars built from firewalls ( with numbers) only, so not sure where the cutoff is.

Hope that did not make it more confusing !

As I’m always easily confused, can I get an explanation of pictures 1 and 2? Yes I see a VIN, but what’s the other areas that are ground down. I can’t see much detail.

One looks like the sheet metal date stamp
