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.

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.
