I personally had a 1966 Corvette that was stolen and recovered that the V.I.N. tag was removed and destroyed by the theives during the time it was missing. I was able to LEGALLY have an accurate reproduction V.I.N. plate made and re-installed on the car.

I didn't know there was a legal way to have a reproduction VIN plate made. New state-issued VIN with the original #s, sure.

But an "accurate reproduction?" My understanding has always been that making VIN tags is a pretty big no-no and a federal crime. Did you get it through the state gov or through one of the underground guys making them?

Not an underground thing but the people that make them don't advertise it. If they did they would never get off the phone with the criminal element trying to buy them.

Yes, it is possible, but the people that make them have requirements that vary from state to state that included for me being in Arizona, a State form and inspection from a State offical that spelled out the circumstances. It is not something that is easily done and has safeguards in place to keep things legal.
