No one said it was a replica. We are simply saying that as an issue with some, not all early cars, Marti reports do not list them as being california specials, so certain precautionary measures need to ensue in order to preserve the cars lineage. It is very easy to duplicate a cal special in a exterior fashion, and unfortunately yes, some people do try and pull fast ones on these cars and sell them as fakes to unsuspecting buyers and the buyer(s) get burned so ya it's more being precautions on our parts rather then throwing red flags at you. And at best, we are all trying to wrap our brains around these cals and hcs because ford did such goofy things back then, and not one cal or high country is the same as the next which makes these cars so damn interesting. When I PERSONALLY see the same listing at a higher price, with the same contact number, the user name s changed, and the name is shortened, of course it sends a message to me that you are trying to push this car over someones head. I undoubtably know this is not at all what you're trying to do, however, if you are going to re-list your car under a different member name, perhaps you could concisely stat why you had to change your name so it leaves other members, or those looking to buy or even look at your car, at ease. No harm no foul Dan, If we knew (or rather if Mike knew) your car, without a shred of doubt was the real deal, then of course it would be added to the registry. It is this very reason why he or Bob do not just add any 8R01xxxxx to the registry without making sure, and cross-referencing to the fact of the said car of being real...if they did, we would have a mess on our hands and the registry would be for nothing... if that makes sense
