I agree with Yountto's thinking here. I have pondered here a moment and I would think that legally, only the Manufacturer is allowed to ID these as they were installed at the time AND place of assembly. In no way would a dealer be allowed to re-stamp original #'s on anything. Isn't it against the Law to alter any of the original stampings? Obviously, I would think that there is a liabilty issue granted to GM, FORD, Chrysler...etc to be allowed to issue the VIN's accordingly. However, where do all these "Gang-Stamping" tools appear from anyways!??? Seems there are several people around capable of re-stamps...Thoughts here...?
