    Default cuda vin tag?

    Anyone ever run into a barracuda/cuda with missing vin tag & options tag? With dash changes a vin tag was lost..title matches radiator core support & stuff but still no vin tag..would make it very hard to resell later after restored wouldnt it? I think the state will come out & pop one on but would be in door jamb then..again hurt value..any ideas?

    happens all the time . no way to prove much about the car after that , some states issue a new vin but nothing like the original VIN , Yes it will hurt the value .

    if the title matches the radiator support,the state might run a check and see if that vin is still active.

    If you have the title you can decern the original engine size and if the car was a Cuda, Grand Coupe, Etc. from the VIN number.

    I have heard that a new factory style VIN tag that looks EXACTLY like an original can be made IF you have the title and perhaps some additional paperwork or rubbings. I've also heard it isn't cheap. Check with www.datatags.com

    I know for a fact that someone makes them because I have seen several of them and I have been told it is datatags.com that will do them but they require lots of proper documentation. As their website says "Real cars only need apply. We will not help with hallucinations or dreams."

    Not the vin tag. Just the build tag.
