None of the shells had titles, what’s the point of buying them besides cutting them up or for track cars? Is it possible to get them retitled? ---

Quote" **1984 -** Congress enacted the Motor Vehicle Theft Law Enforcement Act in order to reduce the incidence of motor vehicle theft and facilitate the tracing and recovery of stolen motor vehicles and parts from stolen vehicles. With this legislation, Congress began to respond to the growing professionalism of motor vehicle theft during the prior two decades. The Department of Transportation implemented the 1984 Act by issuing the Federal Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard, requiring manufacturers of designated high-theft passenger car lines to put the VIN on the engine, the transmission, and 12 major body parts. This measure was aimed at professional “chop shops,” which used stolen motor vehicles to get replacement parts for other vehicles damaged in accidents. As these “crash” parts (i.e., fenders, doors, hoods, etc.) were not previously marked with identification numbers, they were nearly impossible to identify as stolen once separated from the stolen vehicle. _ **The 1984 Act provided criminal penalties for altering or removing motor vehicle identification numbers; and allows seizure and forfeiture of vehicles or components with falsified or removed identification numbers.** _ In addition, the 1984 Act authorized US Customs to require that exporters of used motor vehicles submit a proof of ownership containing the VIN to the Customs Service before exporting the vehicle. The 1984 law provided additional teeth for prosecutors by bringing interstate trafficking in stolen vehicles and parts under federal racketeering statutes (RICO) and by imposing heavy fines and prison terms for export violations. RICO convictions keep criminals behind bars for years and include stiff financial penalties and confiscation of personal property. A provision in another law, _ **the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, made it a federal offense to counterfeit or forge motor vehicle title certificates.** _ This law sought to prevent professional criminals from using counterfeit documents to dispose of stolen vehicles on the legitimate market.

The title of this thread seems so innocent now 😛 So far as titling goes, if it’s retitled, the value is practically nil. Especially in this case… [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/unique-performance-in-some-trouble-restoration-shop/38279.md?page=2)
