Is this illegal to sell just the cowl tag and vin?

really i just dont know and want to find out what are the laws are on this or what is ebay policy.

if it is not illegal and ebay allows it what is there to report, i have seen Tri 5 cowl tags for sale all the time with no problems.

thanks jp

It is absolutely illegal to sell a VIN tag. (Please let's not rediscuss what has been discussed ad-infinitum already) Cowl tags are not illegal to sell but if you put another tag on your car and then represent it as the "new" car you will get sued civilly in court for money damages by one of the future owners of the car when they find out that the Hugger Orange Z/28 they thought they had was actually a green 6 cyl coupe originally. I emailed the seller and he is pulling the auction (if ebay doesnt pull it first). He seemed to be a reasonable guy and didnt realize that it was illegal to sell vin tags since he said he saw them offered in the past on ebay.

Looks like more than the tag is present. Is that part of the dash or firewall?
