Unhappy Unique Performance Fraud Investigation!

Found it on Jalopnik and if a moderator can he will post up the text etc(legalities).

Anyways this is the highly acclaimed company that got Shelby Caroll's permission to recreate Eleanor from Gone in 60 Seconds. The company has gone bankrupt and is under investigation that led to the discovery that inmates were used to work on the cars!!!! Apparently they not only removed the VIN tags(they were getting new ones) but removed any and all VIN stampings. They also were using parts made in taiwan and their favorite product was bondo. Now the news said they used 13 gallons however if you watch "overhaulin" etc it is a common process to cover the entire outside and then sand it down to make sure of a smooth surface....

Anyways the value of the Eleanors just dropped!!!
