Yes, as you say having it declared "genuine" is the issue. Basically it needs to have been raced back when it was new and have been documented by the Tech Inspectors back then.
Here they usually do that by putting a serial number on the roll bar or roll cage.
I'm sure there are ways to get around that but since I have not done that, I don't know what the procedure is.
This makes genuine race cars much more valuable. Even if they were just very mundane cars like Mustang coupes. Some of those sell for 300 or 400 thousand dollars or more.
Gp4 Panteras are rarer here in the US.
