OK, I'll say it: How likely does everybody think it is that this New Jersey Corvette drag car with VIN's removed was either stolen and then turned into a drag car, or fraudulently reported stolen ($$ collected) then taken racing?
If you open that tool box and register the VIN with the DMV, I'll bet we'll get one of those "my Vette was stolen 30 years ago and now I'm getting it back!" write ups.....

I think that's highly unlikely.
Even OJ says; "If I did steal that corvette, I would not carry around the VIN tag to ID the car as stolen for thirty years!!"
Let's keep playing the "wow, what a great find" card.
