Question On rebody? 1973 Z-28

[quoteI didn't know there was a legal way to have a reproduction VIN plate made. New state-issued VIN with the original #s, sure.

I can't speak for the rest of the country, but Illinois issues a new VIN plate from the state police. It is mounted in the door jamb and does not look original.

On a side note, I saw photos of a green "ZL-1" Camaro that the ISP inspected many years ago that was a rebody. If I'm not mistaken, they didn't pursue criminal charges, just left it up to the civil process.

So does Arizona in most cases. I am sure that if I had taken the car to the DMV office that they would have wanted to put one on. I had on of tghe officer's that investigated the thieft fill out the proper forms for the people that made the V.I.N. plate.
