Stolen 71 Challenger found after almost 30 years

One thing I get out of this thread, is that people are overlooking why the fender tag may have been changed. The "mopar idiots" aren't too far off in my opinion.
It was not about hiding the VIN, since DUH, it is still on the car. I think the scumbag's objective was to make the car different from its original configuration yet still desireable, so that someone looking for the car within the hobby, would think this was a different car.
Just my theory.

Could be. But if I was going to the trouble of having a new tag made, I would have at least changed it to a more desirable color.

Paint is a little more expensive to change
