Dirty ebayer selling VIN tag, etc

Wonder what you would do with a new reproduction body if you get one. If I had the money I would buy a title so I wouldn't have to meet todays emmision standards. Just saying.

On the other hand I could see them being used to retitle someones elses ride they stole. That would suck. They were selling them at carlisle on signs. They were advertised as bare shells with paperwork for rebuild. Wouldn't that be the same thing. It seems that it is a problem that will continue in all makes and models.

It would be the rich that would need them. Or the crooks. Either way I don't think it will be stopped. I believe that if a car was not registered for a long period of time that it should be inspected and all stampings should be in place. If they are not the car should be confiscated.

How else would you ever stop transfer of numbers. But good luck.

I have my car for many years the rad support was changed after a wreck. Th numbers on the package tray were cut out for a cage. and the original motor was grenaded in 1978. So all my car has is the original trans case the dash tag and the data plate. The car was Bahama yellow , in-violet, white, hemi, orange, and now ford orange. would that make my car a illegal clone.

I just think numbers are numbers . If you really dig into the car you can tell what you are buying. If you are not sure don't buy it. Or if the car looks redone than its not original anyway. I know of a 70 hemi RR that was purchaced a Barrett Jackson on line as a documented car . The Engine code on the dash was a N. When I pointed it out to the guy that was arguing with others he flipped out and left the show at the Slatington airport. He paid $90,000 for it. He still has the car. The red 440 sixpack GTX that just sold there was also a clone and it was stated on the block. The mud buggy still went for $100,000.

So what does it really matter Its the love of the ride not the numbers. If I wanted cartain muscle car driver. I would rather have a pristine heavily optioned car done right my way my color. Then buying a base model ugly color ,moldy, faded ,numbers matching car. That every one walks past at a show with no interest.

My car in a show field is like a pumpkin in a pepper patch and draws a lot of people. Won several shows and it isn't even a mopar color. Also it is far from original or numbers matching.

So I say build them it would just add to the mopar rides we can look at. How many cars on this site are still all original. But we enjoy seeing them. I like the guys who build them more then the guys who buy them . They are the ones that keep it all going.

Here's my made to order Duster. AKA clone if you want to get technical. Lets see all the others that are not the way they came. Who are the honest members here anyway
