Posting a car's VIN or at least enough information so that it can be compared to a car in question in no way discloses their personal information nor is it compromised in any way. I also do not believe it should be disclosed in any way nor was I implying that. However, the privacy of the car and/or it's paperwork should be public with regards to fake paperwork. We do that right here on the Yenko board with regards to Yenko VIN's, dealer info, paint color, transmission type and other information and no harm or compromised owner information what so ever. Actually quite the opposite.
I had a reproduction window sticker back in the 90's and in very small print it said "reproduction". I was not trying to make it into anything other than what it was. I have watched these car's reputations slip away over the last several years as many people have just gotten fed up with all the fraudulent things that are being done to this hobby and it sucks. I hear it every day from car owners that no longer have fun in the hobby and just want out. Reality and life's changes yes but it does not mean we should all just shrug it off and become complacent with it. I have NO issues with people creating reproduction cowl tags, window stickers, invoices, buildsheets, whatever, as long as they are upfront about it and most importantly, it is NOT the creator or the purchaser I am worried about, it is the next guy in line that gets screwed.
