My only comments are:
1) I value Don Keefe's opinions and research highly.
2) I personally saw the vehicle being restored by Scott Tiemann over many months and Scott/
Randy were very forthright in explaining all of the parts and the difficulties with rebuilding the car. Randy paid more for the 10 special SD Tempest radiators to be recreated than I have
in value in my 64 GTO. I see no real evidence to show that the car is not as described. If a rebody means taking better parts off of a vehicle to make your vehicle better, I am guilty
of that as I have been swapping better trim pieces/ parts from doner vehicles, etc for years.
3) I agree that Randy was a very honest (but very shrewd) business man who was buying up SD
Pontiac parts in the early 70s as he outbid me on more than one of them in the old parts trader magazines.
I am glad that Randy does not have to be around to hear this BS said about him.
