How many Chevelles and Monte Carlos that have vins stamped on their frames had a frame swap done due to rust or crash damage?

Oh just thinking about this can give someone a headache. </div></div>
yes, that is why the premium is paid for real cars with original parts, ESPECIALLY original paint cars ...
anyone can "make" a car from parts, there are a LOT of them, witness the green 69 RS Z for over $100k at B-J that was a TOTAL re-body from scrap, that is one documented "car in the envelope" or car FROM an envelope, as it is called.
rusty, rotted cars deserve to die and their number/VIN "retired", then their "good parts", ie the stuff that is not rotted out, axle, engine & trans can help another car live.
a dynocorn car is basically a kit car, so is anything that has had the rotted or damaged body totally replaced ... just because a portion of the roof skin is "original" does not make it an "original" car imho
