Default Re: E-Bay '69 Yenko Disguised As a Z-28 Clone!

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: bergy</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Here's another tid bit - many folks may not know that there is a mandate for all of the individual state DMVs to communicate with each other. I believe that the deadline in PA was this past Spring. Of course, many states are running behind. I personally wouldn't be surprised if there are a lot of vin's that are duplicated in different states. That's gonna be a real dog's breakfast! It just points out the need for ownership documentation folks. You probably remember when POPs were considered rock solid documentation - now, even the experts get fooled. Block stamping - the same way. With the value of these cars, somebody's gonna figure out how to stamp cowls - perfectly. Never say never.
I gotta get back to work on this project - I may not check in for a while - out of country next week. </div></div>

Funny thing is, in my example above, the original Yenko went and got its State Police issued replacement vin plate from PA. Years later the fake Yenko showed up in PA (!, of all 50 states....) but with the real cars vin, do you think he got a title issued from PA with that original vin? Yep! When 1 state can't figure out that there are two cars after the same vin, in the same state - I'm not putting too much trust in the interstate validation effort. To think that a rebodied car showed up 30 miles away from the real one, and got titled, is a head scratcher! Trust me, I'm up late many a night - but its never over stuff like this!
