So....What is YOUR opinion on VIN swaps ?

If one goes to the federal motor vehicle document linked in an earlier post, it left open leeway for individual states' laws & statutes, and if You are the owner of said vehicle
and attached VIN. As has been repeated, it is all just sheetmetal, and those who would do it fraudulently to deceive intentionally will conceal it the best they can. I know
of one such vehicle personally done two and a half decades ago, at the time it was going on I wasn't aware of the fraud, it was later that I discovered what the "resto" was
really all about. The bottom line, if You actually possess a legit rare bird, and are using a donor unibody structure, it is just metal. Will You argue that hacking out the floors,
rockers,trunk pan,extensions,inner fenders,donor fenders, rear wheelhouses,quarters,tailpanel,donor/replacement valences, that You still have the same car because the
'A"pillars & trunk surround are still there? I think it should be legal for the reason that it would then be documented by those who want to save something rare, and doing
it is the most physically sound way to restore it instead of insisting on patching 3 small crippled pieces of the "original" to say "It's still the real deal!" If the job is done
right & documented, what is the difference. I believe in "Buyer beware", if You want to buy a 6pak or Hemi car, and drop 6 figures for it You should be prepared to investigate
& do the homework......or else You're coming by Your $$$ a little too easily.
