They didn't cut the firewall out, and didn't swap tags. It's just been repaired more times, and more extensively than any car I've ever seen. The moral of your example is to stay out of the stinkin porn shops

I think we can all agree that we all have different levels of "acceptability" in terms of replaced metal. The law is very clear in regards to the vin removal/re-installation. To protect the truly original cars and to protect the buyers of these supercars it would be nice to have a documented history along with each car. The long term supercar enthusiasts could collaborate to compile a accurate history of most of these known cars. Will it happen is another question. There are people who might not like the truth to come out on many of these cars. I would hope that if I happened to spend $ 1,400,000 for instance for some supercars, it might be nice to know I bought a rebody, ex-race car, etc.,etc...
How clean will the hobby become? I think we all can contribute. I for one hope to see this happen in the future.

Lots of good examples and thoughts on the subject. But it seems without some legal defintion that is shared across states(and Canada too, eh) it will be hard to set a standard. I'm leaning towards the original VIN tag still being attached to the original dash and original firewall with the hidden VIN. That to me represents the original shell. Now if the floor and roof section gets cut and another rear section welded up, that is no longer the original shell but it could be hard to detect if the work was done well. In the end, don't most of the cars become "buyer beware" and that's why so many people come to these sites to ask questions about a given car's history? That's what's great about sites like this and people sharing information.

Can someone define "firewalling" for me? . Is this as car #5 above....using a donor cowl and door posts but grafting in "enough" of the original car to include the hidden Vin also the undisturbed Vin tag itelf....or is it like car #4 which uses the original car cowl w/ posts??? . Thanks! ~ Pete

Its all semantics, if the vin was on the gas cap you could screw it on any car you wanted and it would become "original".
