I wonder what the seller of #7001 thinks about this!

He's not the first one either. FWIW, way back in the early '80s when I 
sort-of started all this public serial number checking in Nor-Cal, a car
showed up 
at a club meeting that I KNEW had been totalled. But a new owner was driving
it 
unaware of its past, until I told him it had hit a mountainside, then a 
guardrail at high speed when the unskillful owner accidently touched the
nitrous 
button in a turn. He went to his favorite shop and a bondo-meter showed the 
whole right side and nose was a plastic sculpture. It was eventually fixed
right- 
for BIG BUCKS. I think the "sculptor" re-titled it in Arkansas, then
retitled 
it again in CA to get rid of the DMV salvage stamp on the original title.
The 
unsuspecting owner sold it for a slight loss as soon as it was repaired.
This 
was part of the rationale for a comprehensive Pantera Registry for POCA- the

first edition of which came out in '94. History- J Deryke
