Default Re: 69 Camaro Body in the Crate

Let's face it, the only parts of a car that I.D. it as "that car" are the areas where the VIN itself is stamped. Cut those out and weld them into the corresponding areas on a better body and, bodaboom-bodabing, instant rust-free survivor. Whether it's right or wrong is up to you,but you haven't technically removed the VIN, since it's still connected to the "car". What's your definition of "car" or "automobile"?

Your described procedure would absolutely be a felony under federal law. Not even a maybe. Eventually someone would find out, and if the info got to an interested law enforcement type, you would lose the car, it would be confiscated and if you were the person who did the switching you would be prosecuted as well. I am telling you this from a "legal beagle" standpoint, having worked on some of these types of cases.

Right -- I see your point, but since you are the subject matter expert on this topic, I was hoping you could point us to some supporting case law, a law, statute, regulation, (federal or State) or even guidance to help us wade through this complex issue.

Your assistance is greatly appreciated

Phil
