Default Re: 67 baldwin motion identification question/new memb

Just to make things more cloudy, there is a Yenko Camaro here in PA that was stolen years ago. The owner had removed the original engine due to the high gas prices, and had a SB in it. After 5+ years the car is recovered in Florida, as a stolen car - no vin tags. The owner gets the car back, but no VIN plate. Since he had the original title, registration, police report, and the orig engine, it was easy to determine that it was his car. The PA - DOT and the PA State Police actually issued him a special anodized plate with the VIN and riveted it to the firewall, over by the heater box I believe. Now the car is fully titled and registered.

So, if it was possible to do such a thing with this car, Berger may have another avenue to pursue. If this '67 car was indeed stolen in the past, and the tags removed, it might be possible to research the vin in all states looking for a 'stolen vehicle report' - in my mind a viable reason to actually utilize the NICB - and see what comes up in other states. The down side is that maybe the guy who had it stolen might get it back, then you might have to give up the car - unless the owner was paid off by his insurance company. How would that work Kim?
