K code and Shelby rebodied cars are OK to rebuild, so long as the original shell is not restorable and clearly stated in all advertising and pertinent documentation.
EVERYONE really should read the thread regarding this.
289route66 -- I don't happen to agree with you - but you are entitled to your opinion.
I still would caution anyone considering doing this to have a GOOD LAWYER - I've yet to see a single rebody that didn't change hands and the "truth" get lost somewhere/somehow.
Just like the owners who list "original" HiPo carbs that are fake remakes from Pony Carbs or all the "TRUE FACTORY" GTs and Pony interior cars from "early" 1965 before Ford ever offered these options on eBay all the time.
Someone will always end up with a car worth far less than they paid - thinking they have a great original car only to find out it is something not "as original" as advertized - finding out too late what they have bought - and want their money back.
SAAC started their Shelby data collection a long time ago and only share VINs and car data with verified owners - plus they list known wrecked or destroyed cars - WHY would they do this except to protect the value of exisiting cars and prevent FAKES or Rebodies.
I was simply trying to clarify one of the choices in a poll, not an actual outcome. Doesn't mean that is my position.
I have come across two re-bodies. On one, the seller was notified by the buyer that the car was a re-body, and a discount was given. Buyer kept the car. The other re-body car, the owner is trying to sell on this site.
Ralph, you need to take a chill pill. ![]()
