Thread: vin tag and title rip-off

Tweet

Interesting topic. I have a set of 68 fastback stang tags from my son's old ride. Car was destroyed in a garage fire. We've been thinking about trying to sell them. But not quite sure how to go about it or the legal issues involved.

This subject comes up about every month or so on one forum or another. The absolute correct answer is "NO, IT IS ILLEGAL, DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT."

However, in the real world how many vendors have you seen at swap meets with three ring binders full of titles and how many ads have you seen for these? It goes on every day in America, and 99.999 percent of the time nothing comes of it. I am just being practical. Many many hot rods and old cars would never see the highway if some creative registration didn't take place. This has gone on for decades that I know of, and is being done by folks who are as law abiding as any you could find.

If the States made it easier to title this sort of car there would be no need to do it, but they put us through so many hoops and with such strict requirements, it is sometimes the only way to do it.
