Here's a good story that is true. A guy I know in Ohio who owns an original RS told me of a car he looked at in France a few years ago. When he looked at it he felt it was a "parts car" but the only way to tell is to get the number off of the dash (under the dash pad). This is a number that only the factory can verify and will tell whether the car and it's serial number belong to each other. In this case the "frogs"had taken a destroyed cars vitals and welded them in where necessary (trunk area stamping) as well as i.d. plates. The car was not even an RS.
Anyhow, he called the factory and they did indeed tell him the numbers did not match (they won't tell you what does belong, however).
This number is done in crayon, btw.
He went back to the gents selling the car and they more or less said that what they were doing was s.o.p.. He passed on the car
and you have to admit he was lucky but also smart!
