Sell or keep

I don't let numbers matching dictate. The only way to know for sure if a car is truely numbers matching is if you were the original owner from new. Years ago the insurance companies "clipped" cars. So you're going down the street with a Hemi Roadrunner and get rearended. You're insurance company decides to fix the car. So they clip it in the rear with a slant six Belvedere. No longer numbers matching. You later sell the car. It gets resold several times. The last owner sells it to someone, passing it off as a "numbers matching" vehicle. Hey it still has the original motor, trans, interior. He doesn't know it was ever in an accident and "clipped" Had a friend years ago bought a Duster. Brought it in to be worked on. Walking out to the rear of the car I saw a Demon. The car had been clipped and they used two different bodies, and hadn't bothered to change the taillights. He of course wanted to argue. Lets settle it. We pulled up the rocker mouldings and carpet. It was a good job, but still a visible sign of the back half being welded onto the front. I don't worry about "numbers matching" I build what I want the way I want it. My two cents.
