I do believe the known vin's should be listed. Its really the only part that can't be faked. You can get correctly dated parts, fake trim tags, ect. Can't get a fake vin and even if you could it is a much more serious offense and much easier to get caught. The very next owner will find out the car is a fake by the fake vin that is aleady registered with another car rather than the fourth owner down the line that has no one to go back to. I also believe a published list of vins may help to find some of the missing supercars that have been raced, butchered, and sitting somewhere not looking like anything more than a hulk of a car that people wouldn't even give a second look. About five years ago I looked at a car that was in the local paper. The guy said it had no motor or trans but the body was perfect. When I went there (by appointment) no one was around. I could see why because the car was very rusty and he probably didn't want to hear my attitude. BUT the car looked completely original, paint, int, ect, just in bad shape. It had power front disks, rear spoiler, 12 bolt, was a std trans car, and didn't look like any other options and everything looked original. I wasn't really thinking about what it could have been. I was just upset the car wasn't as advertised and went home. When I got home I started thinking about the car again and what it could have been. When I finally realized how stupid I was for what it could have been and my lack of having any knowledge as to what to look for at the time I called back for some more info, car was sold. It was cheap but not that cheap so it never left my head that it might have been something. A list of vins would have at least been a real good start if the car might have been something and on the list, if I was smart enough to bring the list with me!
