<div dir="auto">So 45 or so years ago I worked at a shop that bought wrecks. These were old cars and very valuable. We had a box of VIN plates. We would rebuild a car located the most likely VIN plate pans screw it to the firewall. Much different with a Bj8 vin is stamped into shock tower. We put pa car back on the road. That was our mission. No fraud inteded. You could buy pa running car for less than <span class="money">$1000.00</span> bucks. Really nice ones maybe $8-20k.<div dir="auto">Those cars have clean titles...</div><div dir="auto">I bought my car 42+ years ago for <span class="money">$500.00</span>. took me a year and a half to get it back on the road. Wrecked it in 1980. Swapped running gear and front suspension over to the <span class="money">$350.00</span> rolling car. A 3000 engine and body were reunited with my old bn4 tags. Again no fraud intended. Just getting my car back on the road.<br><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">Ira Erbs<br>1959 100-6<br>MKI engine and disc brakes<br>excuse typos and strange words my phone wants you to see.<br>Portland,OR</div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jun 21, 2017 10:23 PM, "carroll phillips" <<a href="mailto:bjcap@optonline.net">bjcap@optonline.net</a>> wrote:<br type="attribution"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Guys, If you do have your I.D. tags re stamped because of originals are not up to the new restoration look ect.<br>save the old ones and keep them in a safe place. A few years ago at the Bonhams Auction at the Greenwich Conn, Concours, I heard the Conn.. State Police were looking into just that and wanted proof of the original plate if there was a new stamped one on the car. I also had an XKE coupe I restored at the shop, customer wanted the plate re newed ( stamped) for concours showing, had Todd Clarke do it ( fantastic job) Told the owner to keep original and he lost it ( never found it either) He went to sell the car and could have gotten a high dollar amount right from the first buyer , but they demanded the original plate as proof of originality. He lost the sale to that prospective buyer.So keep the original plates !<br><br>Carroll Phillips<br><br><br>______________________________<wbr>_________________<br>
