I think from the original has a different chassis material and no adjustable turnbuckles, am I right?

How do I tell the difference between an original and converted car and if I do find an original how much would it be worth restored?

Cheers,

Dan

i dont think there is any way to find out if the car is original or converted, other than the box. Becuase you can buy all the parts to convert a normal mid to the special.
