Went and checked it out. Appears to be geniune. rego expired in 2006. the house has a number of old cars in the yard and i could not get to the front door to knock due to his dogs. I left a note asking to buy it. Will wait and see what happens. I am not holding my breath though. The place is a hoarders house. It had quite a few missing or broken parts. Mostly what I am chasing dammit!
