I can hear it now from the "rebody crowd" that there is absolutely nothing wrong with swapping or making reproduction VIN tags.

I tried to buy those tags when they were on eBay back then to keep something like from happening.

Look at the bright side Danny, at least it's documented on here. That means there is less chances for someone getting ripped off by the fake VIN tag swapper.   :Twocents:

I posted pics of this car here before, it's a local... Owner was doing a lot of wheelin' and dealin' back in th 80's when people were a lot less knowledgeable and he seems to think it will still work... He's got a few "hemi" cars and "Shelbys". You are right about it being an "enveloppe" car, it' a regular Charger with fiberglass pieces. He used to get away with selling rusty Chargers for big money here, but now he's well-known, and with the availability of body panels now, he has a hard time getting rid of his rust buckets...
He does have a few real cars he keeps, for instance, there is a 54 Vette in the basement of his restaurant that can be seen through a thick piece of glass in the floor!

Though I don't condone it, I can actually understand the logic of buying 500 tags to rebody another car into a 500 in an effort to re-create it.

But why someone would buy 500 tags to rebody another car into a Daytona has me scratching my head.   :shruggy:

There is another red Hemi Daytona clone that's in my earlier post that was linked to a few posts above. That one is represented as a 70 Charger. It has probably more value than the cobbled-up one, even if that one has a "real" XX29 VIN. It was a dumb decision to make it into a Daytona instead of a 500, but knowing the owner, he wanted the more outlandish look of the Wing Car...

Rebodying is a felony....   There are plenty of folks doing time for it.

Why would a guy expose himself on ebay?    (hmmm, that sounds funny...  :smilielol:)
I've never owned anything but a MoPar. Can you say that?

spacing and alignment on the (new) VIN tag looks like crap on the Charger/500/Daytona

Was he drunk when he wrote the ad??  :lol:

French-Canadian, I'd guess.  They'd be hysterical if I tried to write an ad in French.
:hah: yeah I was thinking the same exact thing....

He is the guy at the local swaps with charger fenders that have holes the size of your fist in them for $500. He hasn't realized its not 1995 anymore.


Someone needs to send him a link to this thread :)

maxwellwedge

Sounds like he has seen it - based on the ad changing..... :scratchchin:

100k for a rebody and looks like the trunk floor has been paint brushed with black rustoleum paint.

He should just stick the original tag and vin back on the car and sell it with them. Its too scary with the wrong tags to even go anywhere near it. Plus who needs the hassle.

I don't really have any problem with clones or tributes, not everyone can afford a real Daytona or a 500 even, but don't try to pawn them off as being a, real Daytona or even a 500...  damn frauds :brickwall:

He has quite a few cars, this one is legit. Most of the other cars were ''restored'' in the 80's-90's, with parts and knowledge of that day, but never updated. Can't say he has a very good reputation locally, he does have some real valuable cars, like a 54 Vette and more Shelby's

Title sounds like it is being advertised as a C500.
