Default Re: Restamping blocks??????????????

I doubt in court, a piece of paper without the VIN on it, would do anything. I.e tank sticker.
Now if you had a continuous non interrupted video of the body coming off the car for the first time, showing the VIN on the frame and the untouched tank and THAT tank sticker, maybe. Maybe.
But once that tank sticker leaves the car, it could belong to any car.
Odds are that guy has nothing to worry about, unfortunately.

Now I know an original owner of a 67 435hp coupe, that still has his original engine (car sold years ago). Now the car is out there with a restamp. Not an easy slam dunk lawsuit (if he did not want to sell me the car, after I buy the engine). He could go out to his garage and grind off the restamp, and I am stuck with an engine forever, I didn't need. This car bugs me, with so many restamps out there, I could actually have a real one with a real born with engine.
