Unless the car has some solid documentation or can be proven beyond a simple VIN number I'd be careful on any purchase. Realistically speaking, unless you're going to use it as a museum piece why buy an original anyway? Registering it would be damn near impossible, it's too valuable to race NOW and as an owner of 3 clones, they're not the most comfortable cars to try to cruise in. My advice to anyone looking for a Hemi Dart/Barracuda is buy or build" as shipped" or "as raced", go easy on the engine mods and enjoy what you got. Use the money you were going to spend on an original to improve your shop, trailer, whatever and be happy...……...
