1969 Camaro....is this legal?

[StealthBird]

What do you guys think? Complete Dynacorn body, with a GM trim tag? Is this ok to do as long as the seller does not add the VIN?

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 &quot;restoration&quot; 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 &quot;REBODY&quot; vehicle. It would be similar to the &quot;SALVAGE&quot; 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.

Trim tag in pics is on a rusty firewall, firewall pic of new body has no tag. But here with the DMV a trim tag means nothing, just the vin.

Again Lynn's synopsis makes perfect sense!!!
Best of luck on this latest legislation!.

On the eBoy car, if advertising a loose Vin tag is against rules how can a specific Vin be included in the auction?.
If it's not affixed to the car isn't this actually a loose tag being advertised?.

Not sure I understand all the hate for these Dynacorn bodies...you would have to be pretty...'green' not to know a cra was not constructed from one..and for the guys who don't care..well God Bless 'em...good for them...

I watched a guy buy a clone LS-6 at Carlisle one fall..there was no stoppng him...red flags all over the place...he moved real fast because the car was a super deal, and the seller had a ton of other guys who wanted it...yeah right...I mean he had a build sheet right?

fool and his money..but I'm sure when the guy got home..he told all his buddies he just 'stole' an LS-6...and most of them were green with envy..until he went to get off it...

Does dynacorn make the 67-68 Camaro coupe yet, this guy on ebay is selling the very first Camaro made 00001. #330465188948. Looks to me like a beat up race car. Now take that vin and put it on a new Dynacorn shell and you got the very first Camaro ever built. Now thats funny!
