653 was sold to Gerry Hawkridge in England as a 289 Sebring car. There are many subtle clues in those photos that say...Made in Poland.
This is NOT to say in any way that Gerry is involved in this. I simply don't know and won't speculate.

David,
Thanks for replying.
I would suspect that whoever originally bought the car from Gerry was the one who found an "interesting" way of registering the car to make it appear that it was a much older car probably so that it would be easier to register in Europe. That person may or may not be the current owner, but the current owner and seller want to continue to represent the car as something that it is not.
Thanks,
Ken
