Is it such a big deal?

Is it wrong -yes,does it happen-yes.Would I rather have a rebodied car as opposed to a "shade tree welder" putting AMD panels around a VIN-yes! I have seen way to many attempts at rebuilds.How many of you guys take your cars to a certified remanufacturing shop?Check your state laws for"rebuilds" some states require rebuild status for an engine change or any member that has numbers!We must document all part sales with a title copy.We have only had two state investigations but when they want documents-you better have them!

WO!. glad we don't have such BS here in Missouri!!!!

you might look into your state DMV and see how they treat title work from NON title states like Ga Al and others that do not utilize title after a car reaches a certain age, be it born in 1972 or '85 or whatever, these non title states work with registrations only. VT is also such a state but they deal with sales tax based on their book value which is NUTS!

an Al registration and bill of sale, here will get you a MIsosuri title. it does require a state inspection where they list the vin NO and speedo reading.

every state is different!!! in Ks, if a resident there buys out of state car, they have to take it to highway patrol, that CAN check all body vins if they were used that year. they can be a terror! LOL

someone sells you a car with wrong vin numbers could lead to expensive law suit. makes no difference if a slant o r hemi car. all i'm saying. I can bite a person in the butt!?? LOL!

all you are getting here is info.... do what ya gotta do
