Re: IML: When is it original?

Car show rules depend on the event, otherwise it is usually based on 
the amount of work done, and whether or not it was done correctly. 
Adding an option is fine, unless it is one that wasn't available for 
that year and model of car.

Subject: IML: When is it original?




Hi All:

 

I become really confused when I attend car shows.  The word ‘original’ 
is bandied around a great deal in car circles. I admit I have no idea 
what my car is…it is about one-half original and one-half restored.  My 
IMP is original in that the previous owner said it was when I bought it 
in 1993. I was told that only the floor carpet had been re-done. Since 
I have had the car, it has had bumps and dents repaired and I had a #3 
paint job, very close to the original white…most of the chrome was not 
removed. I added a right hand rear view mirror and also the option of 
the Flight Sweep Deck, plus rocker panel and wheel well chrome. None of 
the chrome has been redone, no new windows, no upholstery repair.  No 
mechanical restoration…just necessary maintenance such as new tires, 
brakes, fan clutch, etc.  Soooooo what do I have? I know it is a number 
3, but is it considered original as well, or is The IMP a half-blood or 
something? 

 

I surely could use some guidance so that I can be politically correct 
when describing my wonderful car without the necessity of going through 
the entire above diatribe every time someone asks.   Thanks all.
