First let me say outstanding job and congratulations on the reconstruction.



We dont believe that anyone ever said it could not be done, rebuilt   refurbished or salvage it.

All it takes is time and lots of cash money.

This car will always be labeled as rebuilt or salvaged.

Yes one can "cleanse the title"

But in the end all these speciality cars are known in the community and the history will always follow them.

Let me pose a question ;

Let's say you have the opportunity to  buy a 1965 Mustang K

Both are priced the same, both are in equal condition today.

But one was swallowed by a wall of water or just maybe caught on fire.

Lets call this particular one "the Rebuilt Mustang K" at $100,000

The other other mustang has always been in California with out ever suffering a scratch.

Lets call this particular one "the California Mustang K" also priced at $100,000

Where would you lay your $100K ?

Would you buy the the "Rebuilt Mustang K"

Or

Would you buy the the  "California K"

Not a betting man but in this one case, I would say 99.999% of the people would go with the California Mustang with no blemishes

The "Ship of Theseus", also known as "Theseus' Paradox"

The ship wherein Theseus and the youth of Athens returned from Crete had thirty oars, and was preserved by the Athenians down even to the time of Demetrius Phalereus, for they took away the old planks as they decayed, putting in new and stronger timber in their places, in so much that this ship became a standing example among the philosophers, for the logical question of things that grow; one side holding that the ship remained the same, and the other contending that it was not the same.

— Plutarch, Theseus



The philosopher Thomas Hobbes introduced a further puzzle, wondering what would happen if the original planks were gathered up after they were replaced, and used to build a second ship.

Hobbes asked which ship, if either, would be the original Ship of Theseus.

When someone like you who makes a comparison, why don't you do a fair one. That 'salvaged' Mopar is still worth 3-4 times what a 1965 K Mustang would bring. Again, get your facts correct...
