That makes no sense. The frame on a lot of early corvettes rotted out and has to be replaced during a restoration.

As well as a lot of Chevelles.

The serial and cowl plate numbers, in my opinion, are what count. Every car received the same frame and body.... not every car received the same numbers.

The body is the skin, frame is the skeleton, heart is the powerplant and the tags are your DNA. You can have a heart transplant, your skin grafted and your DNA altered. Can you live without a skeleton?
