Help... Vin #'s dont match
By your logic then changing the engine would be vin tempering if the vin was stamped in the block.
Except that engines, as mechanical parts, are specifically exempted. The only laws against changing them are smog laws (at least here in California). The DMV doesn't even deal with engine swaps here, the air resources board does.
Finally, you've seen the light. Hallelujah.
I agree with you. KEEP THE VIN, SWAP THE BODY.
Welcome to the dark side, brother.
Right, of course that's how you took that. Real interesting "logic" you use. :rolleyes:
The law is pretty simple. You can't remove or tamper with the VIN. But that means you can change 99% of the car in the case of most classics because they only have a few VIN locations ( and truly they're only partials). So, it all comes down to how you play the game. And that's why Graveyard can reconstruct and replace an entire hemi car and come out clean, they know the process and will involve the right people to make sure it's all legal, because it's BIG money if the title isn't clean and matching and above board.
And we all know that Hemi car will have almost none of the original car left when it's done. Truly, it won't really be the same car as the original. But it WILL be legal, and almost EVERYTHING you've suggested in this thread is NOT.
I don't care about numbers. I care about fraud, and that just means you have to play the game above board, not that the rules make sense.
