Default "Presents as a numbers matching engine and trim tag etc."

I was looking at this ad for a '63 fuelie priced at $63 K. Saw the "presents" thing in the write up. Can anyone please translate?

Reagards (with tongue in cheek),

It means the numbers on the pad match the VIN, and the colors match the tag, but I DO NOT guarantee it was born that way.

Exactly, just more artfully than usually done.

However, that car has lots of what appear to be original parts on it. It may be fairly original.

Default Numbers

It can even just say Numbers Matching, which doesn’t mean anything at all.....or it means whatever you want it to mean.....

If you have a picture of me, with enough time and Photoshop and do enough manipulation, I "present" as Brad Pitt...

I said something similar to the barber when he asked how I wanted my hair cut. I came out more like Freddy Krueger.

Yeah - I have a nice bald spot in back. I told my barber I couldn't get "corn rows" like the black rappers wear because I have a "crop circle"... He snorted his coffee out his nose....

As far as the ad in question the use of "presents" is a weasel word of legal-ease to keep the sellers out of court because they already know what they have isn't born with -- anything...
