First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... If there is 2 VIN's involved (the donor and the donee) then it would be fraud.
It doesn't matter if we think it's right or wrong, it's the law. I'd hate to lose your expensive car to the law because you thought it was OK. John Wallace ------------------- Subject: [FGF] Another interesting number question for debate. Fella's The questions is, when does a car stop being the car it was when it was new ? OK, try to follow me here. It is tough to type what I mean.... Here goes... You find a car. Dosent matter wher it is, but it's a rare car you have always wanted. But it's basically trashed... Rear ended, rolled, then hit by a train, thrown off a bridge into salt water and then recovered a few years later, by you.. Now we all know we have a few options... Find another car and switch tags. Illegal, but would pass most cursory inspections. OR Find another car and switch tags. Use a plasma cutter to cut out the "hidden" VIN numbers off the trashed car and transplant them to the good one. OR Start the restoration process with a new frame, tail panel, trunk floor, quarters, wheel wells, rear seat brace, package tray, full floor pan, new inner and outer rockers, new toe kicks. New repo roof. Good pillar post off a donor car. Donor cowl. New fenders and shields good used hood.... You get the idea... SO when is the car no longer the car ? One inch around the vin tag ? Maybe two... What do you think... Deep, I know... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submissions to Firebird-L: <[email protected]> Unsubscribe from Firebird-L: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Help: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/firebird/Firebird-L.html> Classifieds: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/ubb/> Owner Pictures: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/show/> Donations: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store/cart.mv?999999> FGF Merchandise: <http://FirstGenFirebird.org/store>
