Consider this scenario told to me some years ago. Top notch body/resto shop tows a Super Sport Chevy into the shop. The complete front clip from firewall forward is gone. Everything from the rear window is gone, no trunk area no quarters just the passenger compartment of the car and the VIN number. The frame is rotted and they had top get a replacement frame along with the period correct drive train and the front and rear clips from a donor car. Now the VIN indicated that this car had some rare engine or options. This car was actually built back to its original condition. Would you consider it a real SS, and the price reflecting that rarity? I would not. Some cars are so far gone and cannot be restored so they never will be what they once one. There is way to much emphasis put on certain model cars and other nice examples of the same car get passed over.
