Thanks bud!  Got it already ...I wonder why someone would pay $150 for that stuff?

Isn't that slightly on the illegal side?

Please explain.

How is it illegal to buy it?

"Q: Uhh, mr. seller, can I use the vin and tag on a Charger that a guy sold me very cheap and that I know he has had in his garage for years and lost the tag and vin number?...and do you include the "rose rivets" with the tags?"   

[Ghoste]

It's not illegal to buy it though.  Just to reuse it.  I'm sure some tag collector just wants them to hang on his wall or something.

Couple years ago an auction like that came up. I believe the seller was based in Iowa.

I sent an email with a link to the auction to the Iowa State Polices (or whatever state it was).

Got a nice thank you note from Johnny Law.

Actually, now that I think about it, I believe that auction also included a title.

Fender tags are legal to buy and sell as collectibles as long as they are not stolen.

VIN tags are different. Merely being in possesion of a VIN tag that is not attached to a vehicle is against Federal Law.

Buying or selling VIN tags with or without titles is also illegal.

Now that part I was not aware of.  Does anyone know if there is a similar federal ruling in Canada?  (and no, I am not planning on selling vin tags, I'm just curious)

Buy it and destroy it

There was a guy selling a title to a crushed '67 Charger earlier this year on eBay. I got ahold of the VIN and registered it.
