YES HE CAN...I mentioned, as well as others thru out this thread just how, what, when and whatever was needed to pursue a repro VIN tag using the existing numbers he has, had this car been a mythical R or even V code, then it might be worth pursuing for some that get a hard on for VIN #s, otherwise as mentioned by myself and others either get a State issued VIN (more BS/red tape runaround) or just procure a set of "clean" VIN numbers/tag (Sat/RR/GTX) title it and be done...

Threads like this will deviate into moral/ethical dilemmas regarding rebodys, VIN swaps, repro tags, documents, plus some pull out their soap box platform to denounce said practices etc, etc, etc, it's par for the course, plus it's winter cabin fever time also
