i've seen a lot of these ads lately, so i'm curious how people are doing this. They've always been complete shells with clean titles, but they don't include the dash or the factory vin number that was on the dash. Do some states recognize just the body stamping numbers if you have the title in hand? From my experiences with kansas, they want to see a full vin in at least 1 spot (dash or door sticker), plus at least 1 partial that matches. I would think this would hurt the resale value, plus the clientele who could purchase it because every state is different on what it accepts. Here's a link for an example. This is the 2nd e-body i've seen this way. Body and paint done, clean title, but don't have a dash for it.
