well, the fender tag isn't used in any way as far as being an official source of the VIN or anything, so I can't see any way that they could be illegal...does anyone have any sources or proof to back up the reproductions being legal? or illegal? that is what i m after. i have heard it is illegal in michigan and oklahoma, but....
i agree that tags shouldn t falsely represent a vehicle. they should have some kinda mark on them , obviously stating, that they are a fake. unless the owner has all the proper documentation. period. i appreciate responses. does anyone have any sources or proof to back up the reproductions being legal? or illegal? that is what i m after. i have heard it is illegal in michigan and oklahoma, but....
exactly. but, if you have a car, with no broadcast sheet or window sticker, and only a fender tag that matches all the VIN # information, but has a slew of options, that did not come on the car, unless you can prove the tag is a fake, you cannot prove otherwise(in most cases) unless it has been registered with a registry and/or with a broadcast sheet /window sticker.fraud has happened,is happening,and will continue to happen, unfortunately.It's not the reproduction tag that is illegal it's using a reproduction tag to misrepresent the car as in a future sale. That is fraud and you could be charged with such, or sued for damages.
not unless you are trying to use it as a VIN tag.it is a TRIM tag. it is not a VIN tag. you dont use the TRIM tag to register a vehicle.if that was the case it would not be merely SCREWED to the inner fender. it would be rivited like the VIN tag.show us a law that states that,removing a trim tag or replacing a trim tag on any 68-80s mopar is punishable by law.misrepresenting a vehicle by way of a trim tag is morally wrong but not legally.it is up to the buyer to do his homework.they are illegal in michigan
exactly. how many mopars are LEGALLY registered across the u.s. in every state , without a trim tag?every day. how many cars are LEGALLY bought and sold and plated missing or incorrect trim tag and the new owners have no clue there is even supposed to be one or that it even has the VIN # on it? everyday. a trim tag is like adding a hood scoop in the laws eyes.no where on any paperwork do you need any information off of the trim tag to buy, sell or register a car anywhere in the u.s. when a vehicle is reported stolen, the information is pulled off of the registration VIN# and cross-referenced with the dash VIN # and nothing else."numbers matching" vehicles are for the purist and the hobbyist, and what makes them valuable is all the documentation and visual numbers proving that the VIN matches the motor/trans/sequence numbers on the body stampings/trim tag/build sheet etc.etc.I also find it hard to believe they are illegal. Following that train of logic, any car missing one would be unregistrable.
