Personally I can't imagine why anyone would care how this thing gets re-tagged as long as nothing used in the process is stolen. If the original VIN is available on the door, check that it was legally scrapped. And when another dash and VIN is obtained, check that it can legally be put back on the road
How about the next owner, would he care? Until you buy a [censored] car and it gets exposed while you own it with no prior knowledge. Then what, does your insurance cover the loss on a rebody? Oh yeah, they will put a state issued VIN on it for you, that will help the resale value.
"Legally scrapped". What the heck does that mean? Is there some agency gonna associate that term to a VIN?
Are we citizens to go tell Motor vehicle dept when a car gets parted out?
Do you want to buy an unknown to you rebody next week?
