I almost fear chiming in here... but here goes
if I understand correctly. Its not OK to own both the wrecked GNX and a complete car, switch the VIN and reconstruct the GNX.
But it would be OK to clip the GNX at the windshield posts and across the floor...say just below the gas pedal and graft it onto the complete car to reconstruct the GNX.
(And by the looks of the pictures the windshield posts have already conveniently been clipped)
I think the real question is...How much( or how little)a piece of sheet metal that contains the VIN tag (rivits intact) can be removed and replaced to another car without it being considered removing the vin
And does it make a difference if I own the wrecked GNX and want to repair it? (OK?)
Or if I own a GN and buy the wrecked GNX to clone or pass my GN for a GNX? (not OK?)
Isn't it the same "thing" in the end, just different circumstances to arriving there?

This question harks back to a discussion here before about
the Dynacorn bodies and use of original VIN & cowl tags.
This is going to become a slippery slope when someone
prominent ( like, let's say Jay Leno ) gets burned and
wants restitution. How much of the original car is necessary in a reconstruction to keep it the original car?
Just the cowl area? Under that premise, a Dynacorn body
could then be considered a real Camaro ( by the unknowing ).
See where this is going?
