[QUOTE=manget1]I guess my question is, if you're going to do that, why start with a numbers matching car?[/QUOTE]
I have to agree with you. Why butcher a fabulous C2...??? Find a basket case and build it up like Rich Lagasse (The Show Stopper) did a few years ago. He rescued a doomed car and put it on the road again. A much better scenario than killing a solid classic IMHO.

I tend to agree from the purest standpoint. I hate to see a #'s matching piece of history dismembered.
I simply like the rod version which can be built as a "kit kar" as well. a nice example of that was the 53 rod at FunFest behind the C3VR tent.
In the end it may be about $$$. It appears from the bidding I am not alone where the rodz are concerned. This auction is gonna rival a Barrett - Jackson. 8 bids, 5 days to go, and already over $100K. I bet the folkz at PayPal are hope'n to get a 3% cut off of that...
