The last funny deal I read about online, technically only required (as verified documentation) the oem vin tag, matching engine and transmission numbers, the title and a portion of firewall with the vin factory stamped on it. (The rest is believed to be lies and deception) Virtually every other part either could not be verified as oem or was allowed to be replaced with restoration components.

Some of so called "restored" and "original" high dollar muscle cars were never real, whole cars to begin with. Just like NHRA, you can manufacture and race your own S/SS car in your shop that was never a real car to begin with. It just has to meet NHRA's specs. There's a major competitive advantage in doing that.
