one time I saw what was sort of a clone but not really.
it had been imported very recently from south america and had either come like that, been modified in the original era or was a bastard original.
got pics somewhere.

pretty sure I could spot a fake. lady says shes had it for 30 years and selling to buy house. I own and have seen enough of panels and trucks and burbs to think I could know the difference.
I hope.

i found pics of a restored one but i forgot to save the price.

im not buyin for 25k.... think I remember seeing one of the auctions in money times getting 100k for one but thats auction fever in a free-money time... not now...

patina on this one is OEM faded paint in very good condition.
its a 1952.

yeah-told wife that she was probably off by 15k at the least...
sounds like you guys on same page.
