I know you guys will tell me like it is ..

No matter what the idiot who is posting that auction says, it is a Federal Felony to rebody a car: i.e. remove the VIN, no matter if it is still attached to a couple pounds of old metal, and attach it to a body it was not originally assigned to.

Let me make it a bit clearer:

THIS VIN IS FLAGGED AND IF THE CAR IS "REBODIED," IT WILL BE SEIZED AND THE OWNER WILL BE ARRESTED AND CHARGED WITH MULTIPLE FELONIES, ALONG WITH ANYONE WHO HELPED HIM CUT AND PASTE THE VIN ONTO ANY OTHER BODY.

Hopefully this is clear to everyone now.

If you want to buy that carcass and try to restore what is left of it into a new car, you can try and do that, but dont even think of removing that VIN and mounting it on another body. Personally (and in my legal opinion), I think you would be crazy to attempt it. You dont need the legal headaches following you, and the car, forever.
