I think that's the proper way to handle the situation and I offer high praise
for the current owner.
The question of what constitutes "an original" has been discussed on various
boards for several years. The favorite quote I ever read on the subject (and
I'm taking liberty with the numbers because I don't remember the exact
quote)dealt with the 1957 Chevy "Black Widows.' I once read the comment "Out
of the 125 originally produced, primarily for NASCAR racing, only approximately
500 have survived."
