Just make sure you transfer over ALL the vins. There might be others that you dont know about.. check them all.

Also, if you end up buying that car and dont want it.. :-*

Re:How much trouble do I get in for swapping vins? ..What Should I do?
 

I just got pulled over last night, doing alittle turboedit tuning (3rd gear pulls will attract cops 8) ) I just painted my car andi haven't told the registry yet. My dash mounted vin number is also missing (its been missing since i owned the car, and i've been pulled over i'd say a good 50 times) the officer asked if the car was stolen and i said no, and that the vin plate is missing cause this ain't a stock dash. I showed him the other two vin number (engine bay, door) and he was cool, with it, didn't give me any ---- at all. He did say that it was illegal to drive with one Vin missing, and that it is also illegal to drive around with two sets of insurance even if one is expired ???

but i think he's a dumb cop, cause he didn't notice that i didn't have any liscence plate lights, i was running open downpipe 8) and that i hate moving video in view of the driver (laptop).

you can do it, just make sure that the old car doesnt have any vins what so ever on it.

also, consider that most junkyards wont take a car w/ no vins on it.

may have to put the sawsall to it and put out a lil in the trash every week.

Re:How much trouble do I get in for swapping vins? ..What Should I do?
 

I wasn't asked any questions when I transfered the title to my truck which was AZ to AZ< but when I went to trasfer my car which was CA to AZ they needed to inspect the vehicle and check the vins. The funny thing is my truck doesn't have any vins in the normal places. The dash is blank, the doorjamb is blank, and I haven't seen one under the hood? ???

i heard the same thing about parts cars and yadda yadda, out here a buddy bought a eg hatch shell with a JUNK title on it from pick and pull (junk meaning must stay in the junk yard) sure enough this fool put it all back together took it to the CHP (cali highway patrol) inspection, then did the brake and lamp inspection and he got it registered as a salvage title. i about ---- myself.

the vin on the firewall in the engine bay would be damn near impossible to change i dont think anyone with the skill of being able to weld the piece in would even think about swapping em, if i were you id just drive it, swap the dash, the door vin and call it a day, say you bought it that way and you even registered it since then. :)

Re:How much trouble do I get in for swapping vins? ..What Should I do?
 

thats all fine and dandy till he runs into some1 competent and has to goto a level 2 inspection and the pull more of the real vin numbers off the chassis of the car

Re:How much trouble do I get in for swapping vins? ..What Should I do?

Ull never get caught with some ---- liek that, especially since its a 20 year old car.
