<VV> Hidden VINs

[J R Read_HML]

CCE has a member who took a good front and a good rear to make a nice 
convertible.  His license plate is "SPLICE".  I'll have to ask him what he 
did about the VIN.  The meeting is this evening.

Later, JR

Smitty Says: Some of you are coming on pretty strong about the idea of 
re-VINing a car by changing the plate and title because the hidden number 
doesn't match. I won't argue the legality of that but here is something else 
to consider. How about the thousands and thousands of cars that have 
suffered collision damage and got front end clips. Perfectly legal back in 
the day when "salvage" titles and "reconstructed" titles didn't exist. Does 
the title match the hidden VIN anymore?
Not that I can imagine a body shop replacing such an item even when the cars 
were new, but I have seen stacks of NOS front frame assemblys on pallets. No 
numbers on them and it would be illegal to put them on.
