I really don't care what SAAC says and what they include or don't include in a registry. The determining factor regarding "Is it REAL" can be found on the auction block, where money changes hands. That is the "Is it REAL" judge and jury:
I think there may have been multiple instances when cars have been misrepresented on the auction block to fetch more money, I think mainly the owner misrepresenting the car to the auction company.

Actually the 427 chassis was designed by ford, I believe the first automotive chassis designed on a computer.
