Banker, I used to work at a place like that here in Long Beach back in 1965. Your point is spot on and well taken. This is exactly what happened in those days. It's happend to Porshces, too. Lots of slant nose conversions and even more with flared fenders. How can one keep the same motor through all that? At least Porsche kept track of the builds and can produce those records. But, at the same token, I'll bet I can change the numbers on a case to where the average person can't tell. I've certainly seen it done many times on American cars. The only way the real number could be seen was with electronic testing of the metal.

Don't ask me how I know this, just let it be known that the place I worked for was shut down 2 weeks after I quit by the auto theft detectives. The place scared me. The people who came in and out of there scared me. I was there for the cars. Stupid, naive little boy.
