Yes that goes directly to point #3 below.

ps- this is obviously very subjective, but personally I think that if the
chassis is definitely the original, and any significant amount of the original
tub, with any period mods done in the day, can be saved, it would be more of a
restoration.
Short of that, it could be no more than a recreation of a specific car.

So if you have George Washington's axe and the head falls of and breaks and you
replace it and a few years later the handle is rotten and it breaks and you
replace it, is it still Washington's axe?

"Can this car be saved? Should it be saved? If you re-body some, or all of
it, have you really saved it?"
Answers-
1- Anything can be saved
2- YES!
3- That's the tough one to answer, with no original parts remaining, it would
pretty much be a "recreation".

Subject: [Fot] Group 44 car found
And on another note, two more TR3s have just come into my life. Bill Emery
has passed his late father?s two cars on to me, thinking I might be a good
caretaker for them.
After talking to Bill and Bob Tullius, and reading through his dad?s
correspondence I am convinced one of the cars, (the very rough yellow one) is
the Group 44 car that Bob Tullius built for Donna Mae Mims to race in the
1965. I have also found the original red paint and pink paint on the car.
So this brings up some interesting ethical and technical conversations? (also
lots to write about in Classic Motorsports). Can this car be saved? Should it
be saved? If you re-body some, or all of it, have you really saved it? While
I know, from correspondence that some of the Group 44 parts are on the red
car, much of the Group 44 stuff is long gone.
