I got these from the PO of my car. Isn't there a place on the web that tracks VIN#s? If not maybe I could sell these to someone who's restoring one.

I would try the license plate restorers or the 356 registry....

Yikes!! IPB Image

Don't know 'bout Tehaus, but in the midwest, posession of the VIN and Ser.# tags in that condition is a felony. I was a prosecutor on the auto theft task force in my "Instrument of The Man" days , and I know it was a felony in every state adjoining Illinois. Having those rascals obviously is pretty handy if you want to re-tag a stolen car.

Just don't want to see anybody get jammed up over something silly. IPB Image

yeah this has been talked about before and determined to be quite illegal.

I assumed they were removed when a car was painted and never reapplied, guess I'm a bit too trusting. However, in the header of this thread I asked "are these yours?" I'd be glad to return them to the rightful owner and help the authorities solve a mistery in the process.

Somebody was recently selling a set of those for an early 356 on Ebay . . . it SEEMED like it might be illegal, but I didn't know.
