Too bad...I was thinking if you really felt the way you'd said, your '68 Gibb car w/ some other tags wouldn't be such a bad thing to have afterall?

Pete, whose Gibb Nova are you referring to? If it's #21 the vin does match the hidden vins.

Sorry lads. . It was a cheap shot at stealing and retagging the car...nothing to do w/ questioning any car's authenticity. .

in Georgia,a no title state for cars a certain age,it's not even the tags that can get a car taken from you.
i saw a guy lose a 69 Coronet R/T because some guy proved he owned it 10 years earlier,and the new owner couldnt provide an ownership history,or actual identity of seller..

Hey Pete, no problem.
I'm actually looking at an ex-drag Camaro that's had them switched & I'd want to register it by the firewall # instead of the dash vin. You have to wonder why someone would go to that trouble for a drag car.
What if the reason they were switched was because it was stolen? Or, what if it's a special car & the digets are on a restored COPO or Z 28-could I get the tags back? I can't put money into a car that I might not legally own.
