What about a legal body swap because your 67 ss was a rusted out old bucket and you found a solid donor 67?

you changed both vin and trim and had both cars properly inspected.

You guys really think that 905 dollar auction for the trim tag (NOR308130) was real? Cause the tag was a repro, someones going to be pissed off.

Heres the first of 2 auctions for the same tag:

If Dick Wad has a bad disease that will render all his vital organs useless in the next 6 months and Richard Wadsworth was in a fatel car accident and was wearing a donar card and all his vital organs were donated to Dick Wad,,,,,,he's still Dick Wad!

No legal law enforcment will inspect a car with the VIN changed! Instead they will conficate the car on the spot. It is a federal law not to remove and put on another car.

There is no legal way to put a different vin on another car. By law they have to issue a State assigned Vin # with a completely new number. IMO, The best way to do this is to repair the firewall of the car and then mate it up to a good solid body. Caution!! if you do this be damm sure that you have a legal BOS for the body that you do attach to a legal firewall with the good vin.

There are hidden # on bodys in more than one place. That is how the feds catch cars that have had the vin changed. So be wise and do it the right way or you may be very sorry.

Absolutely illegal. No such thing as a legal body swap. And you would lose the car when it went for inspection if they learned of the VIN swap: they would confiscate it on the spot.
