Default PHS Documents

Honest-to-God I don't know what you guys are talking about in terms of the value of PHS documents - the only thing that paperwork really tells us is what the tags or drive train we’re looking at represented for a build on some car at factory roll-off day. It doesn't necessarily mean our sheet-metal was actually constructed that way on factory roll-off day! If you've owned the car for many years or you stumble onto an unmolested barn find I guess they may be helpful but for any complete restoration I wouldn't put any stock into them - other to make sure the restorer did a decent job with the cloning. (Boss, for all we know 1/2 the 69 Trans Am's we have today were 69 Firebirds!). Swapping tags has been discussed here in the past and (sadly) the majority of posters didn’t have a problem with it so again I ask - what's all the fuss about? Make sure it has the '242' or '5N' or whatever and save the $65 bucks.
