what a mess!!!
the original thread that was down for editing now looks like a transcript of the watergate tapes!!!!

I would make an educated guess that someone reminded the alleged Gary guy that selling a VIN tag is a federal felony. Therefore his posts are (were) the only visible crime committed, complete with his admission, evidence of photos and old ebay auction information. That is probably why he isn't talking now and has had his posts deleted.

Oh, and yes, buying a VIN tag is also a federal felony, as is installing it on a body it didn't come on originally.

If you, as the new "owner" of the VIN tag have a shop install on another bodyshell for you, that adds another count of Conspiracy as well, and the shop people that install it are added to the indictment list.

The buyer is essentially an innocent victim if the car turns out to be a VIN-swapped rebody. The auction house has no liability based on their boilerplate contract with buyers/sellers. So the buyer would have to sue the seller in a civil action and try and get his $$$ back and he would have to bring in the alleged Gary guy to testify as to his selling of the VIN tag which would be difficult since he can claim his 5th ammendment right against self-incrimination.

Sounds fun doesn't it?

Now I know why I went to law school all those years ago...just so I could figure out what goes on at carshow/auctions.

Great explanation Steve !!!

No problem.

To any considering going to law school, my explanation above is an example of how to answer a criminal law final exam question...a whole lot of issue spotting with no actual answer to the question asked.

All the various sites, have edited, locked or othewise closed down the threads on this car. Thats about the worst thing that can happen since now the car is tainted with no explanation as to how it got to where it is now. I don't think that classicgary had anything to gain by making up a story about tags, vins and paperwork sold 4 or 5 years ago without a body. If his name is on the title as a previous owner then there is some serious issues here.

J. McNeisch's report said the car had a "restoration drive train" (along with other stuff) in it, and yet the buyer, who you would assume read the certification, still paid 125K for the car. Was Jerry's report altered? Something is going on that needs to be answered.

Here's a recently locked post.

The gary guy put in a retraction of his previous posts and the administrators locked the main post...right after I replied with my "law school exam question" description of the whole mess.
