Neat catch by customs. This happens all the time but usually with newer cars.

And who was it on the website that didn't believe that NICB kept all sorts of records linked to VINs?

If you are referring to me, that is not correct.
I certainly understand the purpose of the NICB and what and how they do what they do. Their purpose is to work togather with law enforcement with regards to stolen cars and the parts that come from them. Their purpose is NOT however to police the old car hobby for rebodies

unless their is a stolen car or parts involed in it.
But lets not beat this to death again.
