It used to be!  But things progress!


In California:
 
  Originally... Vins were stamped on a Frame  [  chassis]  and the engine 
number was recorded.  An engine change  required a visit to the DMV
 
Any sheetmetal could be swapped.
 
 Then came Unibodies.......anything can be Cut off and rewelded...  as long 
as the Vins are intact.
 
 
 NOW  the VIN  even includes the engine number... or the  engine number 
includes the Vin [ Vair 68-9]
 
Even Glass / Doors are now Vin'd!
=============================================
 
My SpeedSkater had a Commercial chassis [ VW  floorpan ]   with 3 Vins!!  
Gag!
 
 Those were Cut out and re welded...   legal!  as I  had receipts.. and it 
was "off the books"
 
VW  Beetles have removable bodies.. so anything  goes..
 
I bought a 70 VW  Vert, already stripped and a totaled body...with  title and 
current reg!!
 
pulled the windshield Vin tag and cut out the pan Vin [ hidden  ]   Glued and 
welded those on the car.... cut the rest up and  recycled it! [ no record of 
junking it].
 
Went down and transferred the 70 Beetle vert into my name!
 
 
 Car is now in another state... new owner had no problems!   I'd done my 
Homework!
 
Matt.... sleeps soundly at night!
