I happened to be browsing the C1 Forum and came across this interesting tidbit in a thread about "Re-Stamping/"replica cars":

by the way, here is some more discussion that is highly relevant to this topic:

bear in mind I often ask questions that I already know the answer to . . . but would still enjoy hearing your answer just the same, esp. with regard to E53F001029 and E53F001259 . . . . .

Car 259 has the original tag that I'm aware of with the original drivetrain, it has been hit in the front though and is in the process of being restored.

I also have one 54 with a reproduction vin tag due to buying the car without one because it had been lost. I bought this car from Texas and had the origianl title and vin stamped on the frame.

See Brett, via CTJackster I will answer my questions without hiding my identity.

I am not out to battle with you, I am really just curious what the "proper paperwork" is for a reproduction VIN tag and how you even knew just what the correct VIN was for that vehicle when the repro VIN tag was created . . . .

Now that 53 #029 intrigues me...especially since I happen to know that #029 is a two-owner Corvette that has resided in Florida since the early 90s and is finally undergoing a restoration at a facility maybe two hours north of me.

So, Mr 1954corvair, I hope your reproduction Serial Number Plate and "proper paperwork" are better than this:


BTW, the links I copied above go to an apparently deleted thread; hence no linky-dinky!

Does this mean that there are (301) 1953 Corvettes that GM made, and they (GM) don't know how to count or does it mean that someone is looking in the 53 registery and finding a 53 Corvette number that has not been registered and is having a VIN TAG MADE and putting it on there car and calling it a 53 Corvette just because they had a Vin Tag made. Is this legal???
I would say someone (Lucy) has some splining to do.

So if has been discussed before then why start another thread
