So by the same line of reasoning, only a '57 Chevy rebuilt at the GM ("Authorized") rebuilding facility is an "authentically restored" '57 Chevy, right? <br><br>It's kinda like the RPT vs non-RPT argument. Just because someone/something is "authorized" or "certificated" doesn't mean that everyone/everything else is unqualified... and from what I see and hear, the factory/dealer doesn't necessarily do a fabulous job, either.
