dashboard vin plate question

I understand your question. On the one hand, I can understand how one might think that the title could / should go with the VIV tag. Doing that could result in criminal charges being brought against you. If you sold the dash with VIN tag and title to someone who only wanted the dash and threw the title away, no problem. But if someone took that Vin tag and title and ginned up a phony car, or used it to change a stolen car, you could find yourself in serious trouble. Bottom line is that it is best to remove the VIN tag before selling the dash. If you are going to treat it as a parts car and sell as much as possible and then scrap the rest, I'd keep the title and the VIN tag until it was ALL gone, and then I'd destroy them. Letting the title and VIN go to someone who might do something illegal with it could get you in a lot of trouble.
