<VV> Hidden VINs

[corvairduval at cox.net]

BTDT Have pictures to show. Never even gave it a thought that the hidden
VIN was now different than the rest of the car. Just glad to save a good
Vair that suffered a hard front hit.

Smitty Says:  Some of you are coming on pretty strong about the idea of
re-VINing a car by changing the plate and title because the hidden number
doesn't match.  I won't argue the legality of that but here is something
else to consider.  How about the thousands and thousands of cars that have
suffered collision damage and got front end clips.  Perfectly legal back in
the day when "salvage" titles and "reconstructed" titles didn't exist. 
Does the title match the hidden VIN anymore?
Not that I can imagine a body shop replacing such an item even when
the cars were new, but I have seen stacks of NOS front frame assemblys on
pallets.  No numbers on them and it would be illegal to put them on.
