I am not a fan at all of coupe to fastback conversions as it has the potential to lower the value of an actual FB. Lots of folks really don't care about originality over the chance to own a FB. But if a buyer is not smart enough to quickly check a VIN stamp to make sure it is a true FB that is on them.
Most of the conversions I have seen the VIN stamps were not swapped and the coupe (now FB) still carries its original VIN stamps and are titled as a coupe. In the same vein as in the original example, if everything is swapped over and a "new" FB wasn't created, just an old one reborn, I'm OK with it. I suppose though I could have seen a FB which was really a conversion complete with VIN swap and never knew it!
I don’t see any difference of taking a clapped out fb and using a donor coupe to repair it. Wouldn’t it still not be a fb? I don’t see the problem with that. Shoot it would be more original than a dynacorn replacement sheet metal restored car.
