Easy fix: Hide the VIN with a towel, a card, or a flyer picked up at the event.

My '69 GTX is not a clone, but I often cover the VIN up because not only do I have nothing to prove, but also
the numbers on the car are none of their goddamned business.

It's never been "show worthy" but I've actually had freaks come up and check the VIN at the drag strip.

Luckily the fender tag is from a 1968 Plymouth Fury VIP and they can never any make sense out of it LOL......

Looking back, I wish I would have taken more fender tags from junkyard vehicles back in the day, for the same reason.

Maybe I'll try a couple shows when I get it back together.
