An interesting thread to say the least! But my first thoughts were "if the hidden VINs both don't match the VIN tag, isn't this an illegal transfer of VIN and couldn't Bergy be in danger of having the car confiscated by the authorities?" I don't understand how this car could have even been legally sold in this situation, especially through Ebay. It seems like Bergy is running a huge risk by not checking the other hidden VIN immediately. It also seem like there should also need to be some photographic evidence of original and replacement VINs showing the firewall repair to ever authenticate this body as the original Yenko body. Way too many people seem to be taking sides without looking at the real legal picture going here. I hope this works out well, but I see potentially serious issues here that should be resolved quickly, not 3-6 months down the road.
