It looked to me like this thread did start out about the out-of- the-ordinary price paid for such a car that was not 100% correct and quickly spiraled into more. The seller did mention a few times in his comments that he reached out to an “expert” or two for advise and even offered to pay for their time to assess the car, but received no reply back to assist him. Who exactly did he reach out to? It sounds like the seller tried to do his due diligence before selling the car.
There would definitely be an issue for a buyer and seller of any car if the car has been re-bodied or fraudulently and knowingly mis-represented (I am not making any accusations about this particular GT500KR because I have never examined it in person or had any interest in it). As Mr. Lea stated, “Re-bodies are real they exist there are even people here on the forum that have done them and should be exposed for what they are”. I agree that anyone who is guilty of this and knowingly represents a car for what it really isn't should be publicly exposed along with the car itself so the next seller/buyer are aware of what the car really is. We do not need people like this in the hobby.
It certainly is unfortunate that the integrity of some of these cars is lost by "armchair critics". When something on a car is in question, it may deserve an in person inspection by an expert to answer and/or disqualify any assumptions made about the car.
Just my 2 cents.
