That's true and I agree.
But as Jeff mentioned, it was two years later and the buyer had all the resources to confirm that information before the sale.
What if it was the buyer who nuked the original engine and faked numbers on the replacement?
Now the market is down and he wants a free ride on the whole thing.

Exactly. In the two years he has now owned this car, anything could have happened.
While I agree that the kinds of folks who profit from fakes should be pursued and held accountable, two years down the road is simply too long. The "injured party" clearly has other motivations.
Paul and I are both aware of a case local to us, up here in the Pacific Northwest, wherein a couple of guys were going to turn a nondescript 911 T into a much more valuable 911 S. To Paul's great credit, he called them on it and put a stop to it. These two were foolish enough to have been bragging it up before they finished it up...
Beyond that, I must say I have absolutely less than zero sympathy for anyone in this whole "collector car" game. They have made their own bed. They can sleep in it. Sounds like far too many of them could use a pacifier and a blanky while they are doing so...
