Re: A genuine Darrin restored with a Viper engine?

Hi

Somehow, I doubted it was a genuine Darrin. Those custom shops building such cars are all about the bucks, know that at prefectly restored genuine Darrin will always be far more valuable than any bastardized version ever could ever return for the effort. They're not about to lose a dollar just to make some silly point.

Now, how many ersatz Darrins were built by Packard Re-in-car-nation? I recall their advertisements in Hemmings at one time. I've heard or read that not only the convertible victoria but also convertible sedans were built.
