Tracker states: "I was just trying to establish if a shell with a hidden VIN and no VIN tag was more legitimate or desirable than a shell with just a dash VIN tag." Yes, An original body shell with the original, unmolested confidential VIN and no VIN tag IS more desirable than a shell with just a VIN tag because of the C-VIN's permanancy. Thats why they were placed there in that particular spot in the first place-to avoid removal and addition and provide a birthmark, so to speak. And also YES and YES to answer your question in a previous post as SYC did........ Verification in this order: viewing of legally assigned in-hand title with owner present; untampered with public VIN tag; untampered with C-VINs ("C" means confidential VIN). A friend I know a few years back mentioned a Daytona in Canada that was down a big ravine or similar, where a crane was needed to get it out. He never followed it up I believe. Is this the same car? .............
