A person can join in this futile crusade here and post delusions on how every vin
swap was done by a thief or someone out to cheat the next owner.
Truth is this is not the case most of the time with these 45 year old cars.
Titles get lost and their owners die or cant be found. Some states are not as easy as others for the enthusiasts to remedy a lost title problem.
This has been going on since the beginning of the automobile and will go on as long as there are automobiles and guys to build them. It is beyond the control of the law or anyones opinions. Always has been, always will be.
Post 2 sums it up as realistic as possible.
It is what it is a futile crusade.
