1969 Camaro with replacement VIN

[70LS6454]

Has anyone ever came across a Camaro or any other car with a reissued VIN?

I’ve been looking at 1969 Camaro. It’s a decent car but the VIN has been changed at some point. The VIN in the top has dash has been changed. Everything matches on the title. Would this been done years back if the car was stolen at some point?

Thanks,
Ray

Probably a state issued vin. I have seen several, and even applied for one for a client.

Happens when the car is stolen, then recovered and the vin plate (or sometimes other parts, like the trim tag, even) have been tampered with or destroyed.

There was a process that existed at least as late as 1968, where a stolen car could indeed receive a re issued VIN with the same number from the original manufacturer. I owned for years a 1965 Fuel injected convertible stolen in 1968, with tons of paperwork and a re issued GM VIN plate with the same original VIN. Are you saying your car has the original VIN with a re issued plate or the same VIN with a preproduction plate or a different VIN with a preproduction plate?

If it is the BAT example shown above, that one really scares me. That appears to me to be nothing more than a homemade plate made to replace a missing (or intentionally removed for reasons of deceit) factory plate. That does not look anything like a state or province issued replacement vin identification sticker/plate/whatever (that I am aware of).

There is no way to know if the number they used (and the paperwork it comes with) was originally issued to that vehicle unless the "hidden" stampings are located and verified.

I was actually shocked when I spied that on BAT.

Well I have a hard enough time with bonded tilted cars on the original numbers. No way would I touch that car with a 20' pole.

It’s not the car posted above here. Here is a picture.

The Vin is 12437JC105138.

The car isn’t mine, it’s at a dealer. The VIN is also the title as well.

Where did a Camaro get produced with j c in vin ?? This is a tag off another model car someone used reversed stamps over old numbers to make a kinda camaro vin . But is to ignorant to understand vins and plants of cars. This now has parts from two unidentifiable vins . So stay away and who did this should be in jail stamping plates the correct way .

I cant think that would pass an out of state inspection in ohio. They dont look real close when I had it done but thats obvious
