did you even read his first post? he said he wants the original vin off the original motor on the new motor he's building. and I guarantee 98% of cops who looked at the motor with the vin swapped wouldn't know jack **** about it considering it's the same motor, just out of a different car. personally I wouldn't do it just cause it seems pointless to me and probably would cause you a hefty amount of trouble I'd assume.

 

this is why numbers matching muscle cars are money.

 

Because Hondas don't get stolen JUST for a dash. The VIN on the dash is for the chassis, it's just there to be visible. Dashboards also don't have emission systems regulated by the EPA/DOT/etc.

I'm sure mismatching numbers might make it hard to sleep at night, but not as much as a living quarters with a 1" thick matress with a stainless-steel lidless toilet 15" from it. There are handfuls of goverment-types that can't sleep well at night knowing someone who's swapping VIN's for ANY unsanctioned reason is still at large.



One thing about a "numbers matching" muscle car, a motor with "numbers" indicating it was made a few days to months before the car is considered matching numbers.

 

Wow guys, I didn't ask for a legal debate. I asked how to get the plates off. Not for everyone to tell me how wrong I am for wanting to do something with my own equipment.

I got the answer to my question, just let this thread die already. Sheesh
