Several years ago I was at an auction at a storage yard. There were some cars and trucks being sold due to storage not being paid. One of them was a 68 Gto convertible. It was really rough and rotten and had been in an accident. I asked the owner about it and he said it was sold in last years sale but the buyer never picked it up. I looked at it and the vin tag and the trim tag had been removed!
Here is the funny thing, you can cut the cowl off and swap that metal with the vin tag onto another car, but you can't touch the rivets? As long as you weld on the metal around the vin tag, it is acceptable. Think about how many cars had a rolling rear clip put on a car (including roof, qtrs. and floor pans) back in the day. take two cars and make one. Silly how the laws have these loopholes in them.

Absurd and laughable for sure. For many years i have seen a "tag dealer" here in Ontario at the bigger swap meets. His inventory is massive and so organized with every imaginable car out there. I for one like most folks is against this non sense and the law should step in to curb this.
