What happens here

Tim Walker calls Greg Moore, Bud Moore's son, to confirm specific details about the car. Greg confirms the authenticity based on the unique front suspension setup, which was a straight control arm design different from the more common double A-arm system. He also recalls the car being used by Buddy Baker for short track racing, and points out the distinct 'VW flares' on the fenders, which were not a standard design but a custom modification by their team. Greg emphasizes that these specific features were critical identifiers for their cars.

Goal: Validate authenticity through expert testimony and unique car features.
