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

I think your trying to candy coat an illegal act. If you REBODY a car, what part of it still displays the VIN number? The Vin plate you re riveted to the dash? I can't speak to laws everywhere, but years ago before there was Car FAX and companies like then that makes it harder to "hide" cars that are clipped down the center and sold to an unknowing buyer, like our early A-bodies and others, states had to come up with a method to try and control unscrupulous dealers and sellers. I use to buy cars from a auction place called Sadisco. You found all sorts of vehicles from all kinds of back grounds. There were wrecked,stolen,abandoned, donated, insurance fraud vehicles, burned vehicles ETC. They either had no tittle, you would be given a certificate of destruction, a Salvage tittle, rebuildable paper work, or bill of sale on off road vehicles. Example, I bought two 1996 Ford Escorts, one with a Salvage title, the other was a rebuildable tittle. One hit in the front, one hit in the rear. both had 1500 and 2400 miles on them. I took the one with the rebuildable tittle that was hit in the front and took the front clip off the other one that was hammered in the rear and wound up with a Rebuilt tittle after going thru the inspection process at FHP. My dad wound up with a nice low mileage Escort and I had less than 2000.00 after fixing it and selling off the remaining parts I didn't use. But from that day forward, the tittle to this car had a rebuilt tittle and the tittle stated just that. So when my dad sold it or traded it in, the buyer knew what they were getting
