Phil, sometimes people who rebody cars don't register them with the DMV. If you're not going to drive it on the road, and it's going to be in a collection, it doesn't necessarily need to go through DMV except for a title change once. I expect that may not always happen. Besides, if that happened in the 80s it's been outta the system to long to come up on a civilian search. Probably even police after 15 years. Remember in Ia. and a lot of states, if there's not transfers in a state alotted time frame,(5-10 years) they fall outta the system so to speak.
Think about it. If you had a rebodied Yenko that someone might want to do a vin trace on would you put it in the DMV system?
