Re: More Restamps
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] What individuals will tolorate is a personal choice. There are no laws that prohibit this restamping other than if someone can prove fraud regarding misrepresentation of a car with a restamped engine, which at best is VERY hard (and expensive) to prove. [/ QUOTE ] If the misrepresentation results in a pecuniary loss, it is illegal; in every way shape and form. [/ QUOTE ] That is basically the same thing I said in my quote above. The problem is that it is very hard to PROVE. You would have to prove (e.g. witness) of WHO did the actual restamping or some sworn statements of a previous owner that knew it did not have the stamped engine in the car when they sold it to the person that had sold it as such. There could be no unknown owners between them. The previous owner would have to physically show in court to testify to this. People are often reluctant to do this, may live in another State, etc. The other thing is that with private party sales there is often illegal title skipping so a person that did the restamping may not have had the car titled in their name which causes addtional problems in proving the liability.

Re: More Restamps
And Ken...please tell us about the Joe McD' Rocks note..
Yes he does rock but have you been in recent contact w/ him and how's he doing?. Miss your input here Joe if you're reading this..hope you're doing Ok brother!. Pete........When I was restoring the Biscayne, Joe was a virtual Encyclopedia of info and walked me thru the project with frequent PM's.........Turned me on to parts that were very hard to find on Ebay and was (as most of the guy's here are) just a "Great" guy.......I knew he was having some health issues and was concerned.......After unanswered P.M.'s I could only "Imagine" what he was going thru and how he must feel dealing with one of lifes speed bumps.......So......In the chance that he would read some of the posts here (even though he hasn't posted since April 08)......It's just my way of showing "Respect" and Best Wishes for him...........If that makes any sense....  Ken
