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

You post 50% where is that law? Your car is no different than any other car wheither you rebuild it with AMD-Dynacorn or any other Taiwan products or cut parts out of another vehicle.Theft or deceit is the issue. These vehicles/machines have been rebuilt altered since the day they were dropped off at the dealership by the dealer, body shops, or owners.I buy vehicles from Coparts and other salvage pools.

Exactly, and being the dynacorn bodies do NOT come with a vin sequence number on them, and DO come with a certificate of origin they are essentially seen as just a "part" to a car. A major part, but only a part none the less. Technically a dynacorn body is not a car, just a part.

The law is written to prevent taking vins and vin number stampings from one car and fraudulently putting them on another car. You know because of vehicle theft and chop shop issues. A dynacorn body is not concidered a car until everything is installed and it runs. This is like saying an aftermarket motorcycle frame is a motorcycle. Its not!! Its a part with a certificate of origin. Granted a major part, but only a part. Its not concidered a motorcycle until its assembled into one.

Using a dynacorn body and swapping the numbers into one isnt theft or even concidered deceit. Heres a what if for you. What if chrysler decided to manufacture these shells instead of dynacorn? They would also come without vin partials stamped on them and would be essentially a replacement part. So if chrysler themselves stamped out new replacement bodies to replace rusty ones would that then be ok?

Btw if i could hazard a guess, dynacorns next body shells will probably be 68-70 dodge chargers since AMD makes most of the pieces to build one already.

I am kinda curious as to what mr jimharvard thinks on this one since he is a lawyer.
