I worked for a guy who unknowingly bought a stolen 1964 'Vette. He tried to sell it 6 years later and the buyer, a cop noticed the hidden VIN was different than teh windshield VIN. This was weeks before statute of limitations ran out. My boss lost the car and all he'd invested.
hidden VIN was different than teh windshield VIN.
1964's didn't have windshield vin's. The vin is on the cross bar on the passenger side below the glove box.
When I was in high school, the music teacher had some students steal his Vette and strip it, so that he could get the insurance company to restore it.
