What you fail to mention is that the basic shell/tub is all that has been replaced. As i have said before, i have owned this car since 1991. I drove the wheels off my car through winter,spring, summer and fall for almost 15 years with a re-paint in 1996. by 2006 the body: inner and outer rockers, floor pans, quarter panels, trunk floor, inner and outer wheel houses were all rotting away. I found perfect condition(no rust, dents or dings) 84 regal to donate its body panels. left with the option of cutting up a mint shell to cut and weld back together a rotted shell that would not be as straight, solid and structually SAFE as a factory car I decided to replace the shell with one that was like new. In case your wondering this is not an un-common practice with vehicles needing major repair to make safe and is cost prohibitive. You also fail to mention that I told you that if you wanted could get under car and cross check all VIN stampings against the title. You declined. If you wanted to do a title search you would see my ownership of this car goes all the way back to 1991. And if it were possible you could get a copy of the cancelled check from GM Financing as I paid off the remaining balance due to GM from the original owner. The parts required to collect, not to mention have all the correct important numbers match, to turn a regal into a GN is astronomical. A person can buy a GN cheaper than they can clone one. A replaced shell is no different than a front clip and frame replaced because of a bad wreck or the back half being cut off and replaced because of being rear ended hard or a shell being replaced because a steel i-beam fell on top of it. replacing these parts would not disqualify it as a GN, only one that has been repaired. I'm sorry if you feel duped. That certainly was not my intention. I am not a liar nor a thief. My only intent was to make a little extra money that i could use right now and give someone a chance to get into a GN with most of the work done without going broke.
