[Healeys] healey ID tag on ebay

[BJ8 Healeys]

Well, it's possible to get a title for a car that shouldn't have one.  There
has been at least one car I know of offered by a well-known restorer at the
Barrett-Jackson auction that was claiming a VIN number that is recorded as
scrapped in the BJ8 registry.  I would assume that he was able to get a
title with that number.

I've never seen a "home-made" replacement VIN tag that looked anywhere near
the factory original.  They are pretty obvious when they turn up, and are
the first thing that make me suspicious of the identity of a car.

You can buy blank ID tags from Moss Motors for about $10-$15. You can buy a
set of letter and numerical stamps the same size as the original for about
$35. You can make up your own ID tags to any letter and number combination
you
like. What you need is a title! And, DMV will not give you a title based
upon
some old ID tag on some old car that has no title. The guy that bought the
tag
for $100 just lost $100.  Richard Mayor
