I think the important point is not that he does so,
but that he tries to pass the cars off as 'the Real McCoy'. I have no
problem with replicas, but tampering with VINs is both unethical and
illegal.

Subject: [FWDLK] WOW, HARDTOPS CHANGED TO CONVERTIBLES
!!!!!!!!!
Hi
all,
Wow, I just read
the post of David Glassel the man who makes convertibles out of hardtops.
What a great ideal. If you are a purist and a collector of numbers please excuse
my thinking. I enjoy my collector cars and drive them and do not loose any sleep
over the numbers maybe not matching. I am in the fun business when it comes to
cars.
I used to be in the numbers business when it came to cars. I was an
extremist and perfectionist and I would match wits with professional critics at
car meets that also matched numbers and that was our enjoyment. We would sit
behind our trailer queen vehicles and get an extreme high over other people
saying "Wow look at this beauty, what is it like to drive a car like that ?" It
was hard to answer that one question because being an extreme perfectionist when
it came to keeping them 100% stock and super low mileage---------I never really
got a chance to really drive it hardly
anywhere!!!!!!!
Then one day
I thought, fun is more important then money so I changed my thinking and started
driving my collector cars to shows, drive in restaurants, cruises, etc., even to
Sunday church. Weather permitting also long Sunday drives that seemed to make
everyone else that saw the car on the highway happy
also.
The way I look
at it is I don't think that someday when I am lying on my deathbed that my last
words to my love ones will be "Listen everybody, my cars has super low miles on
it so it is worth extra $???? dollars more------ so buy me a nice
Tombstone.
NO, NO, NO, I AM GOING TO SMILE AND SAY "WOW WHAT A RIDE WHAT FUN
THOSE CARS WERE--------------MAKE SURE YOU SELL THEM TO SOMEONE WHO WILL ENJOY
THEM AS MUCH AS I
DID!!!!!!!!!!"
Hmmmmmm, now let's see, -------------------which one of my collector cars would
look good with a convertible
roof???!!!!!!????
