Meaning of "numbrs matching" opinions please

[Stuart Adams]

#1. Numbers Matching should mean the #'s match, restamps, etc. but not original born with.
#2. Original Born With should be the proper term for components that match and are original and correct born with parts.

There needs to be "original born with" terminology used nowdays. If the car has the original born with parts it should not be advertised as numbers matching it should state "original born with numbers matching parts."

If you have the POP and restamp the numbers on a different not born with part that is date correct there should be "not original born with but numbered and dated correct part" term used.

The lay person may buy a car that says numbers matching and yes they may match but the value is different if the numbers match with born with parts. IMO.

A car with born with parts should also be worth more, IMO.
