Maybe that re-body stuff is just made up crap in an attempt to hide the truth. Junk like "period installed standard eight body" on a Super 8 chassis is total crap. Almost every 745 roadster out there is a fake.

Another note: If the car is a fake with a sedan chassis it will not ride well. Hirsch had one and the ride height was all wrong. Open cars had softer springs. As well, no matter how good, I'll wager a reproduction body will not be as good as an original. Despite being composite structures, those original bodies were engineered. So sure, it may look great but ride like crap. Of course today appearances are everything and substance means nothing.
