RE: [Chrysler300] Rebodying Anyone

["John Lyons" <John@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete and all,

I just received my May issue of Sports Car Market.  In the issue, there is a
blurb about a '50's era Maserati 300S with a note that none of the sheet
metal (in the opinion of the author) is original to the car.  The car sold
just south of 2 million.  I guess it is in the eye of the beholder.

As a buyer, I would not be interested in owning one...BUT what constitutes
'crossing the line'???  Switching vin and data plates???  A complete
rebody????  Extensive use of donor panels????  I certainly don't have an
answer but have debated the issue many times with friends and fellow
enthusiasts.  I had an old boss that would describe it as varying shades of
grey.  

The seller of the C chassis has tried several times listing it to no avail.
I think the title and tags are new to this listing although I might be
mistaken on that point.   

Other hobbies have some oversight (such as coin collecting)....there doesn't
seem to be that general oversight body in automobiles.  Maybe there is a
market opportunity there.

Hi Group:
 
    I know we have had our discussions about whether or  to what extent
rebodying our cars is acceptable, but for those of you who might  want to go
tot the extreme, I refer you to E-Bay auction # 8053357648, where you  will
find a 300-C chassis for sale, together with the title and the VIN plate,
and little more.
 
    Assuming these are all legit - is it still a  C???
 
Pete Fitch
