It's not that obvious to some people who are new to the hobby. I'm sure a good deal of the stuff is sold to unsuspecting people.

I have been fortunate...I was around some of these cars when new, and I was issued and drove one in-service. Still...I didn't pay close enough attention to alot of the little things, and I'm still constantly learning, and still constantly researching. My CSP car still has the original paint, and a ton of other original parts, but I can't say with 100% certainty that the cable on the car is what was on the car when it left Dearborn. For me, I just want something that looks correct, and actually works with the VASCAR system I'm installing.
