Re: Define Original

I guess you can have Original Condition as in a totally untouched vehicle and restored to Original Condition where as every effort was made to make it as it was from day one. In some cases having a new single exhaust bent as close to original as possible is completely ok. Once the block has been changed out (stuff happens) it really isn't original anymore but if a completely correct year/size replacement block is used that should be ok as long as it is not mis-represented.

When you have a low mile original and very clean un-touched truck with original paint that is faded a bit, I would be tempted to leave a small dent alone. But a truck like this is still very desireable whether or not the owner decided to do some body work and re-paint. It will just be an original truck with new paint.

I think an even more mis-used term is "Restored"! But that is another story.

Just my 2 cents.
