1969 Camaro....is this legal?

Trim tag to a Dynacorn body is legal everywhere but here in OK.

The vin issue is decided differently in different states. Because the Dynacorn body is now licensed by GM, some states consider it a "restoration" part, meaning that you can use all the other parts (frame, rear axle, drive line trim etc.) from a donor car, affix the vin and call it restored. Under a strict construction of federal law, and most state laws, one cannot remove the vin from the donor car. Period. But, it still happens all the time, and local law enforcement is anything but uniform.

Let's face it, there is a place for the Dynacorn body. But there needs to be a way of identifying a car as such, without having to hire an expert to look at the very subtle differences between a Dynacorn body and an original. In Oklahoma, we are working on a new law that would ALLOW a rebody using a Dynacorn body, but would also REQUIRE that the car be titled as a "REBODY" vehicle. It would be similar to the "SALVAGE" titles issued by most states, and would even be a different color than the standard title. That way there is no fraud, guys still can use a Dynacorn body and build what they want, but it would be virtually impossible to pass it off as an original.

Sounds like a good ideal but the crooks dont care and the average car guy wont know the difference. I have seen at least 4 camaros built out of firebirds and passed off as real and nothing has been done about it. There is only one good way to use the Dynacorn body and that would be a racecar.
