Just for arguments sake, I'd like to mention a 70 or 71 Cuda that I remember helping my cousin work on in his small body shop back in the 80's....It was his own car.He had this original 318 car that had a CUDA hood but was really nice. It was stolen and when he got it back from the police the next week it had been stripped bare and was left on a train track and hit by a train...The rear of the car was wasted and the roof and floor was buckled..and the whole car was basically a bare shell...but this was his Dad's car originally and he was going to fix it. Sure enough, he cut the car to basically the same condition as this Camaro...with only the very front bird cage and cowl/dash and door jambs....he bought"another whole car"..as the parts were not even available back then. And I guess he did not remove the numbers from the original car...but he did use another car and fixed "his" car..or did he piece in the numbers from his car into another car???

My point is, if this Camaro was fixed using another car would it be a rebody??....I understand how the law is written, but I think any judge would understand if a person bought both cars to save one...the law should be based on bad intention..or fraud...If you save all of the original car that can be saved..even if it is just a small portion....you did not re-body the car...(of course it must have the part with the VIN) in my opinion....
