When you look at the public information, it reads more like the expert didn't have enough information to authenitcate it, rather than actual fraud found. It would be silly to not have photographs of restoration of a 1.5 million dollar car, but it's certainly not a legal requirement. It becomes a Ship of theseus paradox at some point. Plenty of crazy vintage race cars get re tubbed or have major structural repairs. and aren't suddenly inauthentic. Obviously being sold with transparency would be expected. But I doubt there is really anyone that can truly authenticate something that rare. Jerry blinked. I wonder what would have happened if he stood his ground.
