Umm,.... I am missing something here Seven thousand dollars for an engine and transmission that are "numbers matching" to a car you don't get

If they took off the cowl/vin tag for their own LS3 project, I was also wondering what they will be using for title/reg. Do they just rotate cowl/vin tags from various cars until they get a combo that works? How does this even approach being some small sliver of legality?

When I bought my Lemans, even with a notarized title in hand for transfer, I still had to spend about half an hour at the MVD with the car on a trailer while they inspected cowl tag, vin plate, and door vin for serial numbers to make sure it wasn't some sort of chop shop special. They even got out some paint stripper to check a painted over tag. I narrowly missed getting the body cavity search and DNA profiling.

I guess AZ is "special", and they don't do things like that in them there parts of Kentucky.

Marxjunk, that was an interesting insight about the auction thing. It seems, tho, they would risk scaring away potential real buyers who aren't so "hip" to the method.
