Help... Vin #'s dont match

Actually, your whole point was that the rest of us are dumbasses.

"We" don't think deception is okay. "We" just realise that these cars are 40-50 years old and that it's unrealistic to expect them to have the same OEM Westinghouse headlamps installed after all these years. Originality is all just a matter of degrees.

Graveyard Carz will replace every single panel on that phantom Cuda, but it won't be a "rebody" because it'll retain the OEM firewall!!

You number Nazi's need to join the real world.

Oh please! I'm a number Nazi? Get a grip. I drive a clone for Christs sake.

As for the phantom on graveyard, yes, they'll repair or replace every panel on that car. But I can guarantee that it will all be done with the permission of the DMV and probably with a bunch of the classic car auction guys overseeing it. Not only that, but I'm sure they will do EXACTLY what it takes to get it a clean title, whatever that means to their amount of work. Because it's a hemi car, and hundreds of thousands will be on the line for a reconstruct title.

The point is not that you can't repair these cars, or that you can't change out panels with stamped VINs. The point is that if you start cutting panels with partial VINs there are legal steps you have to take first. If you don't, you run the risk of committing a crime.
