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

'Cause said
Thank you, I just want to verify for myself. I do not intend nor have any reason to have DMV "inspect" for numbers.
I've never had them do that before. The VIN thru the windshield on the driverside dash matches the title, why would they want to look further?
It isn't like this is a rare Porsche or anything, it's just a 44 year old Plymouth Scamp.

Has anyone had an experience with DMV wanting to 'delve' deeper into the VIN numbers if the title is good and the dash VIN matches, especially if the dash VIN tag obviously looks like it has been there for 40+ years.
My '71 has a like "paper" tag with the VIN on the drivers door, but the one on the '73 has been gone for probably quite a while as the car has been repainted a few times.

Just trying to get get a good handle on all this.

They usually dont look further than the title and dash numbers. It is a 44 year old scamp, as you said probably a slant sux car. Hardly valuable in the grand scheme of things. Check the body numbers for your own piece of mind and head on down the road.

Where this starts to become an issue is with the high dollar muscle cars, and reselling such cars, possible fraud, passing off counterfeit fakes as legit etc. Back in the day in the 80s and 90s we made garden variety cars into muscle car fakes. The engine size is in the vin on a mopar so i never worried about passing off a fake i made as legit.
