Got to love the “original” frame reference in the for sale ad.

The listing should be flagged...false advertising, stating the frame is original. Striking color combo, and a beautiful car, though.

No surprise - this is what flippers do.
Take some comfort in the fact that if potential buyers do their homework they may shy away from this piece with a non-original frame at that price. The guy may make a few bucks at some point - but you still got "all the money" for it from what I see...and you were truthful about the car...

The '65 frame with the rubber mounts is an improvement over the '63.
What's the hassle?

That's way too much money for a C2 coupe to start with, no matter what year it is. Don't you think?
If my '63 convertible had a '65 frame under it with the rubber mounts, I'd consider that a plus. Why wouldn't anyone else that likes to drive them?

You might want to post the VIN here, so if a prospective buyer does a search this thread will show up.

Ha! You guys took the bait.
Mike knows exactly what the issue is with a non-original frame...

The ad doesn’t really say original frame if they want to defend their statement. It says the body and floors are original. The frame is restored to show condition. Written to deceive but not untrue if they are challenged. Must be a dealer!

The way it’s written, there’s no question, in my mind, that all 3 items are restored originals.

The other piece is whether there is an intent to deceive, but a seller can just claim inexact use of the language.
Heck, a substantial portion of people on this forum don't know the difference between your and you're.
