New '69 Camaro Bodies. Registration issue?
I wonder how registration will work? Would it be like a kit car? Where would you get a vin number from?

I am trying to remember what magazine posted the article...
Anyway, from what I understand... they had a VIN number... can anyone confirm?

What I'm really afraid of with these things is that now all somebody needs to do is plop a vin plate from a rusted out hulk rs/ss onto this new body, and all of the sudden it's "restored".

I think that might be illegal.

Just because it is illegal does not mean it will not be done. Let the buyer beware. This is new ground for the muscle car arena and it can get ugly(fake original cars). I hope in the end it will get worked out. Now that there is a full body they will be built and they will be titled. Every state is different. Just like all of the other automotive laws out there are different for each state.
If memory serves, there is a secret place on the body that has the vin stamped in it. I have no idea where it is. I just recently read about it over on Camaros.net. Look on the bright side, it will make our original first gens worth more.

I have had some questions about these repo bodies. Im not familiar with kit cars either, so I was wondering will these "new" '69 Camaros have to pass smog? Cause if so, that could put a crimp in our collective "style".

I can't imagine it being any different than it is for all the glass '32 Fords and stuff out there. It's registered as the year of the car it replicates and if it does not have a VIN, the state will assign one.

It's not so secret. While doing work on my Nova, I have found VIN #s on the firewall, under the heater fan housing (wonder how many get obliterated when the firewalls are smoothed?) and on the floor pan, under the rear seat area.
