Owner took it out and it got a little wild. No one killed but driver and passenger spent some time in a hospital-2 weeks..no serious injuries.

Most cars that were raced have floors, inner and outer quarters, trunk, front fenders, door skins, possibly hood, trunk lid and tail panel replaced. That’s just a normal part of a full restoration.

If the firewall, trim and vin tags were moved it’s a rebody, if those things weren’t moved, I’d consider it a repair. Value is truly in the eyes of the beholder in this case.

Sounds like there’s no hiding anything with this car

Value or worth is another thing altogether.....

Not going to please everyone, but at least a piece of history is preserved.

Still optioned very nicely.

Seems unfair to say much without more facts/details as extra efforts may have been taken repairing the existing structure before new body panels added to specifically not rebody the car?
Are the tags undisturbed or ever removed/reattached?

I was basing my comments on this sentence from the first post. " The only piece of outside sheet metal saved was the drivers side door." I took that to mean that was the only piece of the original car saved which apparently was not the case.

Randy said the firewall/cowl, door jambs, front floor pan etc was unhurt etc and new sheetmetal was added where necessary. Tags/ vin numbers were not removed or spliced in.

I said "OUTSIDE" sheetmetal drivers door was only piece saved/reused. Drivers side door is still bolted to original firewall/cowl door pillar

As other said an extensive repair.

Can I have it ?
