Re: Hardtop?#2

[Doug Ahern <D170A833@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

regarding a 4 door hardtop.  it'd be hard to fake,, and what more.,,
what would be the purpose?  the doors are different, the side glass is
different, the weatherstriping is different, the interior trim (between
the doors is different....  I don't think anyone could really do it 
in a convincing way.., and to what end?  modivated by what?  

you walk up to a MW car,, yeah.. you better know how to spot a fake,,
a 4dr HT??  unlikely it'll be a problem.

that said..,,,
your question about spotting a fake applies to all cars..,  the fender
tag has a "SO NUMBER" that is stamped into the radiator core support,
usually on the driver's side,, either on top (under a sticker.,,
sometimes,) or facing rear... that ties the fender tag to the the
body...  If the broadcast sheet is available, it'll have the 
SO NUMBER and build date on it as well and that ties the
VIN to the fender tag.  The certicard has the VIN, the Trim, Body,
and Paint codes on it, these match the "TRM BDY PAINT" codes on the
fender tag... yet another way to assert some legitimacy to a car.
certicard also has the delivered date,,  which can be compared to
the fender tag's scheduled build date.

The pre-rivet VINs are difficult to move from car to car.  the way they
are welded to the body makes it 1) difficult to remove without popping
a small hole it it, or without cutting out fomr the back and grinding
it down,, and 2) difficult to reattach  unless you go the adhesive
route...

> What do ya say guys?

its a 4dr,,  the fact that its an HT makes it cool.  'rare' tends
to lead people to thinks its valuable,, 'uncommon'  might be a better
term.  4dr HTs will always be a lagging $$-getter compared to the
2dr  variants.  which, depending of which way you approach it,, can 
be good or it can be bad.
