Re: caveat emptor
Human nature is for some people to believe what they see with added influence from other people who may gain from that. What folks don't take in to account is that a car that was restored in the 60s, 70s, or even later depending on storage elements could "Look" like something that could be "survivor" material due to their impression of the condition that they see.
Folks that tend to question something they see when they have the experience and the knowledge to find authenticity can usually knock off an untruthful claim pretty quick but the average person out there really can't and won't do that.
Folks make fake pieces of art and other popular things all the time for monetary gain from the unsuspecting buyer. It's been going on since the dawn of the human species. The latin term for "Let the Buyer Beware" is a pretty old one.
