<VV> Find on the way to work/ Titles

[Dennis Pleau]

Tim and all, this is a CORSA site and CORSA doesn't support swapping VIN
numbers as in most cases it is illegal.  I know most Corvair owners are just
trying to get good titles for cars they own and are not trying to register
stolen or ill-gotten vehicles, but it still isn't kosher.  Please take it
offline.

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 regis
 ter 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)?
