It is under wraps, at least for now.

I'm confused by your post.
Both the one on eBay and mine are originals.

It was identified inside the front cover as part of the Quarterly, Vol. Three number Four, December 1963 which was only nine years after they quit making the Darrin's. The original comes in an envelope that says "Owners kit for your Kaiser Darrin" and contains the service policy and owner identification card.
Terry Zeug used to sell them for $100 and that is where I got mine many years ago. They do not turn up very often anymore!
