Is this illegal?

Ever seen RoadKill Garage? They did a Barracuda that was toast!!

What’s your point? That thing was still a POS when they “finished” it. Did they ever paint it? Or even put glass in it?

Roadkill is entertainment, not good practices.

And really, it’s not relevant. A car that’s burned hot enough to need a new VIN should be disclosed as such. And if you’re willing to explain that it burned, you don’t need a new VIN tag.
