Does anybody "remake" dashpad VIN plates, and most importantly is this legit and legal????? I am interested in buying a car from another state , FULLY documented, with a state issued registration, cowl, radiator support and drivers door sticker all match the #s. Dash was removed and now gone. This is my main concern to buying this car, any input would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks MoParts members If the State issued VIN is the car's original VIN number sequence, and you have ALL the required documentation, then contact www.datatags.com to see about having a repro VIN plate made, If your vehicle's VIN carries an alternate VIN number and it's traceable to the vehicles original issued VIN, then your stuck with the State Issued VIN Don't release/post your VIN as some individuals will "black flag" your vehicle in their so called "registries"

Datatag is not a black market source. The process involves your local law enforcement agency. I don't think the law is in the black market and is going to help you commit fraud.
But yes check with your State Dept. of Revenue. If the car already has a state issued vin then why bother with it?

If there wasn't something wrong wouldn't the seller already have done this?

I know someone that got a VIN from Datatags, he was correcting a fast one the seller tried to pull on him, he put the correct VIN back on the car. The prior owner swapped the dash frame to another because the car was missing it's original engine and the donor had the original engine, what the donkey neglected to do was remove the factory fender tag which had the original VIN on it and those numbers matched the build plant and partial stamped on the body in 2 places . There was no law enforcement involved. Maybe things have changed ?

Thank you for the info about datatags.com I want to make sure this is TOTALLY LEGIT and legal 1st and foremost, and also want it to be authentic not just a black tag with #s and letters, Does anybody have any good or bad input, time factor to get done and cost???? I will be in contact with them tomorrow. Thanks again in advance
But it's not totally legit, the state issued VIN tag is the ONLY LEGIT vin tag that belongs on this car now. What you are attempting to do is committing fraud .

Consider this question closed. I am not going to buy this car based on the opinions / advise in which I asked for from this forum. I asked this question because I did not want to invest or waste THOUSANDS of dollars on a car that had a clear TITLE (with VIN), registration with the SAME VIN, fender tag, cowl in GOOD SHAPE, radiator support and engine block and trans with all #s matching same as title. Only the dash tag is missing. Why someone took the dash and interior out and now dash is missing,.... I cant answer that, but that's why I asked you for input and advise. @JohnRR, it was never my thought and or intent to committing fraud in anyway shape or form. PERIOD!!!, I only came to this forum for help, in doing the right thing, I was cautious of buying and then NOT being able to get a dashtag , same as you would be I am sure. So please feel free to subtract my # from your post count. Thanks MoParts members for the ad

Thanks MoParts members for the ad Doesn't matter if it has all those items , it has a VIN tag that was applied by the state , that is the only LEGIT VIN tag for that car now and if you were to remove it to replace it with a reproduced tag you would be tampering wit hthe VIN of the car and if you sold the car and didn't tell the buyer that is the FRAUD ... especially if you removed the state applied tag. The good thing is you asked BEFORE buying it unlike the dummies that ask AFTER buying it.

I've only seen one or two cars that had state issued VINs and it has been a while since then. IIRC they were attached to the drivers side door jam, not the dash. That being the case, would it be legal for an owner to put a repro tag with the car's VIN on the dash in the standard location, as long as the state issued VIN tag on the door jam was still left in place?  That's the question, now isn't it? I had to get a state issued VIN tag years ago, but it was on a 64 Chrysler so it's not comparable here. But I would be asking the authorities who inspect the VINs about doing this first, wouldn't want to get myself in any legal issues. Not to mention that even if he kept the state issued tag intact, it would still affect resale, or I would think so. Not sure there's an out that wouldn't have a potential bite in it here.
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.

What are you talking about State applied tag????? THERE IS NO TAG on the dash. THERE IS NO ORIGINAL DASH. Its gone, lost, poof, m.i.a., The only tag left is the original drivers door sticker that CLEARLY has the same VIN# on it as the title, the fender tag, cowl, radiator support that came from the FACTORY, not the state! GEEZ, how can I be any clearer on this. That is why I asked if anyone made a repro dash tag if someone had "verifiable documentation", because of this AND it being out of state I had State Police run the vehicles #s and it all came back clear, even to the last owners info. That's when I asked this forum. NOW, JohnRR since I cant get a dashtag remade, I am not going to buy this car. Thanks again, msg closed! Mastershake340, Ur 71 Challenger is a thing of beauty!!! Happy New Years everyone be safe
