Seized 1959 Chevy Corvette Might Be Saved From Crusher by New Kansas Bill

[4WD]

Have you ever done a high quality restoration? Most shops and owners don't want to see tape lines around the vin plate.

Do some states have a legal procedure and some do not ?

You don't even need a title for an " antique" over 35 y/o. what's the issue?
Is that VIN appearing anywhere else on a national database? Was it a recorded OE issued VIN?
Was there a stolen 'vette and was this guy under surveillance?
And do we want Staties tied up and spending their time with such nonsense?
And who is the idiot who passed a law that you have to crush a confiscated vehicle?
At least auction it and add the $$ to the coffers ... dumb idiots

I I repeat anything answered in the article - sorry I didnt read the article

We have to solve traceability issues often on equipment …
Who removed it anyway …

That's already been established,

From the article itself: "Richard Martinez, the car's owner, bought the restored machine in 2017; however, an inspection by state police found the car's VIN plate had been tampered with. Indeed, it was removed during the restoration process.

Can't they just declare it non operational and sell to another state?

You do understand it's impounded?

A District Court Order is necessary for destruction. Law enforcement can seize for 72 hours. After which; a Court Order is necessary for further investigation or destruction. I was a VIN inspector in a past life.
