That can't be legal, can it?

Hell, that's got to be the cleanest 914 I have ever seen.
It's more than I got WITH MINE.

That is how kit cars can be done, As for the seller, he may not be doing anything illegal, it would be the buyer who would be.

a set of speaker pods for my silence

As a licensed Vehicle dealer in Oregon, I would not want to be the buyer on that transaction, Not legal as per the ODMV.
James you can title your roller, but you will need to take it to a DMV and they will issue you a new title. They need to be able to physically see and read the VIN numbers.

Worth 50 bucks...just like a BJ in Las Vegas.... 
Posted by: scotty b Jan 20 2005, 07:35 PM
I just looked at it again and realized the numbers on the fender are not there!! 
Posted by: skline Jan 20 2005, 07:49 PM
Its not legal in any of the 50 states. Federal law prohibits sale if title only with the vin tags. It wont last a day on Ebay. It is also against their rules. Just watch the auction, I guarantee it will be pulled within 24 hours.

I guess we can put 4722921288 in the data base as DOA OR it could be MIA
Posted by: scotty b Jan 20 2005, 07:54 PM
OR it could be James'

Finially, a rust free 914

Thats only because the plate is made of aluminum!!
Posted by: skline Jan 20 2005, 08:14 PM
Did you notice that the original lein on the car is from a Government Employee Credit Union? Too funny.

Ha-Scottys friend must be starting a ChopShop business.

If someone does something like this, this isn't the sort of thing you want to tell people about. Yeah, he is also missing the fender VIN, not good. I would think no one would bid on this.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMNNNNNNRaby does have a sense of humor
Posted by: bryanthompson Jan 21 2005, 10:01 AM
I wonder how much of the car actually has to be with the vin tag for something like that to be legal... Maybe he could just cut a 1'x1' square of metal off the car and be clear?
Posted by: scotty b Jan 21 2005, 10:03 AM
IF that would work, the fender numbers would have coverd that angle. 
IF he had enough sense to actually cut them out!!

The seldom seen end result of rust. I wonder if you also get a pile of iron oxide in the deal ................................. The Cap'n
Posted by: markb Jan 21 2005, 07:26 PM
Maybe if you add a large box of rust to the deal, it could be legal?
Posted by: jd74914 Jan 21 2005, 08:16 PM
I think you need at least three pieces of the original car (here in CT) and part of the frame to be legal. At least, thats what a guy I know with a t-bucket hot rod has told me.
The tags by themselves are illegal. It would suck to be that seller
Posted by: skline Jan 21 2005, 11:15 PM
Well, its been 24 hours and Ebay hasnt removed it, I wonder if the rules changed. I have seen them on the bay before but alway got taken off within 24 hours. I know someone who bought some from one of the auctions that was deleted. He had contacted the seller before they deleted the auction.
Posted by: boxstr Jan 21 2005, 11:21 PM
Scott I am putting you in charge of this detail. I want that off of ebay in the next 12 hours or we move in for the kill. I think you know what to do. If you should be caught all knowledge of this assignment and you will be disavowed and you will be on your own. This post will disappear in 30 minutes.
