Both the VIN and body tags were removed. Need to verify they were installed on the original body.

Was on ebay 2006, small block at that time.
Learning more and more about less and less...

A question - why go to the expense and trouble of doing a resto-clone, advertise it as something it really isn't, and then attach the trim tag with rivets recovered from the Titanic ? I just don't get it - anymore than the local guy that attached his "X" tag to his "Z" with wood screws.

I think because most people are looking at the shinny things when buying, who looks at the trim tag and VIN...until maybe when it's too late.
