Anyone know where to get a reproduction Vin Tag?

To think some states are finally allowing the original tag to be removed and installed again. Of course with the correct process.
Now someone isn't happy with the original tag.
Yea right, just go buy a new car. Your 60 year old vehicle will never be new again. So the insanity needs to stop somewhere.

I have a friend who bought a Charger that had been crashed in 2002 and professionally repaired just afterwards. The entire front of the car was cut off through the floor and a-pillars and the front from a second donor Charger was grafted back on. It came with a certificate of inspection from that state's Highway Patrol who came out to look at it and granted approval for the work. The Highway Patrol had rivited a metal strip to the original car's door jamb with the original Dodge VIN stamped on it and the inspection certificate also retained the original Dodge VIN. No state issued VIN was used in this case. The body shop had removed the donor car VIN tag and the rivit holes were visible through the windshield.

So what are you saying? You going to report me? To who? LOL

I just got off the phone with NJDMV and spoke with multiple people from the special titling dept (including the Dept supervisor) and explained my situation. I explained that there was a company that re pops vin tags and that I had all the paperwork to match what was being made and their answer was to go ahead and affix the correct plate back to the car and that if I already own the car and have the title with the matching VIN that this is perfectly legal to do...There is no crime here. That is straight from the DMV's Mouth.

As a retired 20 yr ohio police officer, if you have documentation and proof of ownership and are simply fixing a correct vehicle and not creating a fraud vehicle…it is legal. How do you think all these builders build these 32 fords and tri fives and hemi cars found in fields. If the documentation is there and its not a stolen car you can have the vin plate restored or produced. Those companies are not doing anything illegal or they would have been busted federally a long time ago

That should be left to the Individual States to decide. The Fed has grown itself to the point they are out of control and over-ruling everything. Perhaps the growing increasing interest in convening a "Convention of States" will rein them back in.
