$40,000 for a road race bug and, hey, you get the Tar Babe's pan to go along with it!  Sweet deal!

I would like to know how that can be proven.

mg:
I’ve seen similar issues where a Tar Babe (vintage race car) has been restored on the wrong chassis.
Typically the owner of the correct chassis/pan will offer it for an inflated price to the owner of the correct body.
If the owner of the Tar Babe body passes on the correct chassis the real Tar Babe chassis owner may build another Tar Babe.
Then claim the 2nd Tar Babe to be the real one based on fact that it is on the correct chassis.
I know of a couple half million dollar vintage race cars that are in this situation.

40k asking price for the white oval seems a fair ransom for the correct Tar Babe chassis.
MB offer him 10k to swap pans?  :-[
