I can agree to an extent like the infomercial "BUT WAIT" I understand that way to many cars are misrepresented throughout all brands and models but as long as the car is represented for what it really is I see NO PROBLEM in it but that probably is not the norm to many crooks out there.When you take a bunch of parts from other cars to make one what really is it?Let's say you had a Demon that had a serious frame problem or whatever and everything else was good but you had a good duster body and used it to make a Demon with the majority of the parts off the Demon let's say everything but the main body WHAT DO YOU TITLE IT AS?I would say the Demon.Majority wins.It's done with classic cars all the time and they have no problems with it but they be a more honest bunch

I have no problem if it's done correctly and by the laws of your state of titling and registration. And when, or if, you sell that car you provide full and open disclosure for what it is, good on you.

The problem comes in when someone doesn't provide the full and open discloure, that is intentionally mis-representing. Some may say it's the fault of the prospective buyer, and to a certain extent I agree. If you buy a car in this hobby and don't know a conterfiet from a clone or from a original you deserve what you get, that is called "BUYER BEWARE". This is why I provided my definitions of the different categories in my original post, to hopefully educate. Not only the buyer but the seller because maybe it's just ignorance on their part.

This is an unpopular topic, I know. It's human nature to "look the other way" as long as it isn't hurting you.

And for the record, let me reiterate, I will provide a public apology to anyone who feels wronged by my post if they can prove to me that they had no ill intentions to decieve.
