Hi gents:
There was 61 SS (?) for sale near me. The seller wanted 195k for a real deal SS 61. I walked over and (car show) scoped it out. Well I didn’t see anything obvious to my novice eyes but it didn’t “feel” right. Later a friend told me that the car was built up from a 61 that sat in a pasture. The owner had a local restoration company build it from new sheet metal. Plus normal rotisserie build.
How would a gent hired to authenticate this car verify its pedigree? What would be some of the places/parts to look at? Thanks
