Originally posted by Tony3603...To state that the chassis plate is non original is pure speculation and not based in any known facts. The fact of the matter is that the car in question has all of the Autokraft chassis plates. The real question is why would Autokraft have stamped the chassis plate AKS1439.
The known facts are that Autokraft didn`t use that type of plate, and didn`t use the 'AKS' prefix.
It is a known fact that chassis plates like this one are widely available, and frequently used to add authenticity to replicas and it would appear some genuine owner(s) prefered a plate that closer resembles ones used in the 60`s.
If it has all the Autokraft chassis plates as you mention above, what does it have as the chassis number on the left-hand plate below (with the 'AC Logo' statement)?
I don`t think anyone is calling the car`s authenticity into question, simply that a later addition isn`t original. [
