Guinness has standards... so it meets those.
It's the same engine, but he's replaced parts... probably rings, valves, etc.
Same tranny, but not same synchros, etc...
As I said he's rebuilt and welded the driver's seat... so foam, cover...
Where are YOU drawing the line? Sounds like you're skeptical...
My 73 1800ES still had the original clutch when I sold it at 165k miles. No work on engine (except plugs, etc). Tranny shifted like new...
Ditto my 71 Volvo 145... similar mileage (170k). It was an excellent car, but was fatally rear-ended; wife was fine.
