IMHO - it is a con of some sort. That aly body didn't just fall out of the sky onto that chassis. Some several people know this car for sure, you can bet. Wonder how thick it is? Might ID this as a reworked MKIV.
Nothing wrong with reworking a MKIV, good idea. But, scraping off the ID? Sign of serious trouble seeking a patsy ("investor" grade). Forget Brian Angliss as a source removing the ID. He was tough and sharp, but not stupid. We all know of several "high profile" folks that were quite stupid about mis-representations. Brian did not do that. He was quite happy to build you a new car to slide under your number, if that would help your repair, however.
For proper cars, paperwork is everything, then the car. No paperwork, think of this as a kit. Maybe some day you might be happily surprised, but don't count on it. Used kit in this shape might be worth 45K. Don't pay over 30-35K. More than that is a gamble, not for this faint heart.
Only for the brave and/or foolish.
