All of these cars were used as what they were built for back in the day. Looking at pictures of the cars racing in period at events like the Tour de France you will see alot of completely thrashed cars! There are almost no original body panels on any of these cars. Secure and uncontested ownership of the chassis # is what cost the new owner about 34 million dollars. This is a terrible thought for sure but you can park a GTO on an active railroad track and cut out the chassis stampings, etc., walk away and not lose that much as long as you have those chassis stampings and tags. Make another one!
