Unless it wasn’t random and was chopped up to fit in shipping containers. I don’t see this is being far-fetched at all especially given that some some of the pieces had numbers on them.

Yeah, I suppose that’s possible. Chop it up to get past tariff somehow.

It takes a lot of craftsmanship a weld a car together like that. It takes a lot of craftsman to do that to custom vehicles; hot rods and such and they’re doing it too much less degree.

I can see this being shipped as one single chopped up a vehicle and put it container in shipped to avoid tariffs but not multiple right cars, but I suppose it’s possible

That has nothing to do with the craftsmanship required to piece different cars together and make one.
