I seriously doubt any legal entity would ever question it, and if they did, I'd still be OK, as that is the number stamped into the frame.
My motivation was to have a vin# handy and visible in case of an accident or if it was stolen or ???

We just bought one last month, also on EBay, for our 29 Sport Coupe that has matching numbers, frame and engine.
Purchased for the same reason, visibility. Mounted on firewall above stamped gas tank date. Looks great and really looks orginal.
