Law enforcement in the form of the NICB has opened an investigation on the car.

If the seller is whats known as "a seller in good faith" in legal terms then he will have no criminal issues but only civil issues in trying to recover his purchase price from whomever he purchased the car. If the seller is also the restorer and the buyer for the cars current indentity purchased on ebay he has a lot more than monetary issues to concern himself with.

Gary's internet retraction is irrelevant. It appears if the information is true that the car in question is currently displaying identity tags and a part of the cowl with a hidden VIN from another car. Someone had to have welded and affixed the identity tags to the current car. The NICB will determine who that is and turn the results of their investigation over to the US Attorney's office for prosecution.

This is one car that will not surface years later at another auction if its true that its identity was transferred from another car.
