<VV> Find on the way to work/ Titles

[shortle]

Sounds like a pretty good find. Hopefully you are in a position to capitalize on this stuff. It sounds as if they could be had cheap if the owner was going to take them to the crusher. But how about the turbo title, vin plate, and product plate. I have a 65 Monza Convert. well loaded with options that I have been converting to a 66 Corsa (emblems, dash and glove box, 140, etc.). I have owned this car since 1983 BUT the previous owner (or someone) had drilled a hole about the size of a dime right in the center of the vin plate. Even though this car is registered in my name (Calif.) when I took it to the Colorado vehicle registration dept. and they looked at the vin plate they told me since they could not read it completely they would issue me a new vin and then declare my car SALVAGED. At that point I said "No thanks" and left. So now I am looking for a 65/66 title to make my car into. Illegal- probably. Immoral-no way as I am not trying to defraud anyone. I just want to register my car as a Corvair and not as a salvage. I suspect I am not the only 1 who has done this or been up against something like this. Anyone got a '66 Corsa convert. title for sale (non turbo)?
