Yeah, number one is total BS. There isn't a state authority that will allow you to clip in an existing VIN.
99.9% of these cars will be given a VIN by the state authority and treated as kit cars.

The how to register the car text was lifted from Dynacorn's website. Dynacorn wrote it, MU is just passing it along.

How is selling a Dynacorn body on eBay any different than advertising it in their catalog or having one for sale at a car show where they have a vendor booth set up? It's just another marketing/selling venue for their business. I don't see the issue here...
To add to what you said. This is my impartial and likely unpopular opinion. IMO it's
not the responsibility of the seller of replacement '65-'67 fender aprons
to tell you how to handle the VIN stamping.
Seems to me if I buy a whole body shell I should know something about the VIN
issue/problem! How 'bout if I replace the cowl area on a '68 or newer? Seems to me
if I'm restoring/rebuilding/cloning/modifying the VIN/title is my responsibilty!

I'll take a stab...JSHarvey said:
MS - Mustang
67 - year
FB - style
07 - year of manufacture
0204 - 204th shell produced
TW - Made in Taiwan?
Somebody buy it already and title it so I know how it ends. I have to go to bed in a few hours and want to know how this ends before I go to sleep!
If someone brings to the DMV here in Mesa AZ for a stage II inspection, the door tag is all you need. According to her the stamped fender number doesn't count...go figure.Hemikiller said:

The Mustang Shoppe here locally will sell me one for $15K even + taxes

To the original topic - What is the difference between ebay and for sale locally?
To the subtopic - most will NOT be registered as new. People with rusty shells have easy access to use these "replacement pieces". These will be titled in most cases as 67's IMHO.
Honestly I am not even sure I care anymore. I think those of us that want originality want original Mustangs. I only wanted a GT Scode so that is what I bought.
Those that don't care, simply don't care!

I agree.GT_SCODE said:
My doors are from a Cali car, my fenders shipped up from FL, my decklid was from Semo in Missouri, IIRC. Floorpans, torque boxes, qtrs, taillight panel all repops. Put me in the don't care category. My car can't wear white anymore.
But it flies!
well to make sure you get a real 67 just buy one thats rusty then you know its real

Hell no... Indiana doesnt even LOOK at the car. If you have a title, they consider it a car. They dont come out from behind the desk... ever!
I think I found a new business niche.

I think we zero in on our cars with this VIN, registration and title issue.
The simple act of the DMV person comparing the VIN on the car with the VIN on
the title from the PO isn't so simple on MOST early/vintage or antique vehicles.
When I bought my first car, a '46 Ford back in '56 I looked at the title
and in looking at the car could see no way to check (easily) if that was in fact
the car on the title! The Ford manual showed that the ID number was stamped in two
places on the frame that could be seen only if the front or rear left fender
was removed. The ID was also stamped on the rear of the engine, bell housing area
and could be checked by removing the front carpet and an inspection plate. If the engine
had been replaced that ID number would be different!
In reality the DMV had no interest in removing a fender or the carpet and inspection plate.
I got the new title and never did know for sure that this was in fact my car!
IMO if that car was extremely valuable and reported as stolen and somehow mine
was suspected someone could remove a fender and check for proof.

Still , to me a complete car like that is cool . VIN issues aside , imagine if that was a NOS body
It's almost like unwrapping a hotwheels car except it's a bigass hotwheel .

Ooh, you can take the new bodies, strip off all that black primer, and sit them out in the rain. Oh wait, I've heard this story somewhere before...rmodel65 said:
Maybe it would work better if you selectively strip off the paint in just certain spots.
yeah i mean cancered not surface rust but yeah its great for the hobby as a whole as long as they are titled as a repop :thumbup:
