Re: ethics and laws.
Thats a tricky one, here's my take on it. If he was asked about it, he needs to answer honestly. If he is not advertising it as original or numbers matching, and the buyer "presumes" that it is a matching car, without asking, the fault is with the buyer. If the buyer doesn't ask, and no lies were told, it is on the buyer. If the seller is aware of the situation and blatantly lies about it, that is fraud, and he should be accountable. I think the saying is "Don't ask, Don't tell". Personally, I'd like to see some people carry around an "R" stamp and hit the pad when no one is looking!
