Default Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb

I agree with most of what has been said, except for the part about the missing tags. Here is why. I know of more then one instance where tags from one car were installed on another (accident, rust, other?) with the remaining pieces of the old car left for salvage. Then one day, the body reappears, thus 2 cars with the same VIN. I owned one of 2 '66 Shelby Mustangs with the same VIN and I have been told there is a ZL-1 out there that this has happened to and I know of at least one instance of a Yenko race Corvette being in court over a similar type situation.

And what if the person with the tags had posted first,
would everyone be telling him instead that he has a Yenko? It is a Yenko, but who has what? We all have our opinions of which is of more importance, the body or the tags, but in reality, who can really say, except for a judge? Acknowledging a car's heritage is one thing, its' ownership a whole 'nother ballgame.
