I certainly don't take your concerns lightly Jeff. This car has been in its current configuration for at least 20 years. If it was repaired with a partial cowl in 1985 as I believe, the vin tag was re-attached then. You are correct, it's not a good situation, but we all recognize that rusted out cowls are replaced during restoration all of the time (with the vin re-attached). I don't take this lightly and I will move for a judicial declaration as to the propriety of this vin being attached to this car as soon as I have sufficient evidence.
