[FC] Van Title/Tag

[Ken Hand]

??? This discussion was done a few years back on VV if I recall. There was much discussion among the Directors and it was decided that tags and title without a vehicle, for sale or asked for,?would not be condoned on any Corsa server, therefore policy was set. Tags and a title?is exactly what was asked for on this list. I don't know of any state that will let you put a vin tag from another vehicle on one that you?own.?I have to agree that Denis was a little harsh with his words but the point was delivered. 
?? We don't need to rehash it again, just be known that there is policy set on that subject of changing tags on a vehicle. Anything else that is legal we can talk about here.

"Re-titling" (with the same VIN) is precisely what you do in California 
to replace these purged titles (especially applicable to old "barn find" 
Corvairs) -- completely legal and approved by the state.  Seems like 
CORSA would support this.
     see CA DMV pamphlet HTVR14  'How To: Register Vehicles For Which 
DMV Has No Record'

I could understand that CORSA would not promote changing VIN's, but is 
there actually such a statement in the CORSA Constitution or By-Laws 
about non-support of illegal activities?  If so, when did CORSA become 
judge, jury, and executioner in determining just what is an "illegal 
activity", and exactly what is the wording granting such authority, 
except for concours events and tech inspections?  It would seem like 
"illegal" would be more properly defined by the authorities in whose 
jurisdiction the event occurred.  What's "legal" in Georgia and 
California might not so be in Vermont, or does CORSA exclude some states?
