When is it not considered "original?"
I'm wondering when a car is not considered to be original. Mainly, if one has the motor rebuilt as opposed to replaced. Obviously if it's a new engine, it's not original, but if the old motor was simply "cleaned up" (so to speak) etc, etc is it still considered original? I'm assuming that there could be possible changes in horsepower, etc, etc. Just a curiosity question.

NCRS restored car must look exactly the way it came from the factory, it does not have to have the same internal parts.

Very important that block casting and stamping numbers not be machined off when a rebuild takes place. Having the block "decked" has been the downfall of many a trip to the machine shop.

Original as defined by NCRS will allow replacement or restoration of parts. Bloomington's "survivor" designation is much more stringant as to what can or cannot be replaced or refurbished.
