Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask COF, Crazy, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

what a waste

They're a couple of E-types that are being returned to the Earth.

I did some more reading and it looks like someone may have bought them - but I have no idea why. I guess they could pop off the VIN markers and put them on a model built from old stock? It's not like those can still be restored. They're too far gone.

Oh, that will buff right out.

Can you imagine trying to restore those rotted husks?

That would be a futile endeavor and very costly.

If they're just after the VIN, that makes more sense to buy them. You can put the VIN on a car built from old stock and the car will count (for legal purposes) as the same car it was when it was built. At least you can do that here in the US. Those are likely in the UK, so the rules may be different.

One caveat is that the car can never be newer than the VIN. So, those would be around 1968 or so. They could put together parts from a 1972 made from old stock and then the car would still be a '68. It can never be newer than the original VIN.

This exchange of ViNs would need to be documented and disclosed at sale.
