Yet another shameful example...
« on: June 13, 2021, 03:17:06 PM »
Here is yet another example of why tags on clones/fakes/tributes is a bad idea...

If you're going to show up at a car show in New York with stolen tags on your Eleanor, you might be getting a visit from the police very soon. Shame on the New York state DMV for being so stupid.

I wish I had a nickel for every time I heard, "I would never try to pass it off as original"

Most likely the car is registered with it's original VIN, and the stolen shelby vin tag was bought off craigslist along with other stolen bits and pieces. Or, perhaps not, yet the full story has yet to be told by those who took the pictures.
Instead of being part of the problem, be part of a successful solution.

So, is this car a 67 with a 68 tag on it?
I know first hand that New York State does not care about any car that is 2000 and older. ( I will stop there)
NYS does not even issue a title for anything older than a 1973 vehicle.

Some time ago, my friend had (I have no idea how he had this), and bucky tag for a 70 Boss 302. He tried several times to get it to the right owner via the Boss 302 registry. They would not help him in any shape of form to see it got to the correct owner. He simply gave up trying. He may have even just tossed it because of that.

............. you might be getting a visit from the police very soon. Shame on the New York state DMV for being so stupid.

     In the first instance, it often amazes me the attention that this issue might garner from the police, versus say chasing some real criminals (that is assuming that the owner isn't trying to market this fraudulently   :o  ); "safe-work" I think is how one would label it.       ::)

     And in the case of the DMV, what do you expect from some typical civil-service employees where there is no recourse for one's ineptitude, or just plain lazy, I don't give a syte, I get paid the same, don't do their job attitudes!       >:(

The local PD will go with the vehicles vin # which probably is what this person is using on the registration and title

That original tag attached to the inside fender will be considered a novelty item.

As someone else stated,  it's an older vehicle, not enough knowledge, does it really matter (to them), why open up a can of worms, got other things to do.....

In my opinion, its only a "novelty" until someone shows up with your VIN.
