The key wording here is, how do you establish legally "real identity" if part is a number bearing part, has been removed?




Don't have to prove "real identity". The fact that the number bearing part has been removed is proof of violation.

Which means it's up to you to prove otherwise and the way the law is written you cannot. Which is not to say a reasonable DA, judge or jury won't see things your way, but like I said above, it isn't worth the aggravation.

And that is why I will not fool with anything with VIN issues. Not worth it to me no matter how great a deal it may be.

Closest I will come to anything like that is buying a very old vehicle with no title. I have been through the bonded title routine twice and it's a doable and legal way to do things, but it's not all that easy.


They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
