First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List ......................................................................... Bull, don't believe for a moment everyone is like you. Swapping tags is not "saving the car" it is just plain dishonest.
I would not do it for the hobby and I really don't care what my buddies think. It is what I think of myself. Guess who I would never buy a "numbers matching" car from. LOL Don't now the article about the judge but most refer to donor car is one they take parts off of and the vin is not a part. Just my 2 cents.

So again, I think that anyone presented with a totaled (for lack of a better term) rare car would pull out all the stops, including swapping tags to save the "car". Which leads up to another question. What makes the "car" what it is ? 350 duce or TA. Both came down the same line and a lackie assembly line worker rivets on a tag... before the tag went on, the car could be anything. Take the tags off, its a pile of sheet mental Just like a block. A grand prix block is no different than a firebird block. Just a 2 letter stamping. I have NO problem with re-stamping a block for restoration purposes. Change an XT to a WZ ? I'm all in. Integrity is a nice word throw around with your buddies over a beer to make yourself look better or establish reverence. But deep down in places you don't talk about, you and the next guy can be just as underhanded. "I'm above all that" or "yeah, I'd junk that 69 ram air IV car for the sake of the hobby" BS ! So magnanimous you are !!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ 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/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 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/>
