Even if it is the original chassis restamped with a police number, the doubt would be still be there for a potential buyer and therefore the value has been wiped off anyway. (there's a little short thread about this somewhere around here. Bit hard to find cause it hasn't had many posts the last 3 days.

)

If it is the original there should be some remnants of the original number stamped somewhere, probably with a line stamped through them.
