I know of a guy who has the vin and cowl tags from a green 69 Judge he took off of a junk yard car. He told me is just waiting to find the right car to turn into a green Judge.
This kind of stuff is exactly why everyone should realize that PHS documentation is not a definite conclusion that the car your looking is genuine. It seems there are a lot of so called low mileage survivor cars showing up all over the place since prices have gone through the roof the last few years.
Most original RAIV cars were blown up on dragstrips in those days with little care because GM warrantied the drive train for 5 years or 50K. I have read that GM took a beating in those days because of these warranties due to many people claiming their drive trains were defective after blowing them apart after street and dragstrip racing.
Bottom line here, check those hidden VIN numbers carefully before putting down a large sum of money on a restored car. PHS is a starting point but take it farther because it is your money!!
