I'm calling BS on the wrong rivets restoration story being spun by the owner and his legal team. The hidden VIN on the frame was also defaced, a fact they conveniently leave out.

https://www.kctv5.com/2021/09/08/imp...ss-contraband/

From the local news report above:

"In the past five years, seven vehicles have been seized—all with purposely destroyed vehicle identification numbers. They are essentially contraband.

The classic 1959 Chevy Corvette falls into that category because in addition to the VIN on the dash, the VIN on another part of the car is destroyed.

The Kansas Highway patrol sent us a statement. It reads in part:

The Highway Patrol says if it’s a simple restoration, they try to work with owners. But this case is more complicated because other ways to check the VIN were also damaged. The car was legally purchased, but has been pieced together."
