In the late eighties, I bought A running gear from a dealer/restorer in southern California to build a speedster. The seller kept the pink slip and the body. In as much as the pink had the chassis number, the seller stamped a number on the frame that I used to apply for a Colorado bonded title. The same seller rebuilt the engine and returned it to me with the block numbers ground off! After several phone calls, pictures and letters to the DMV, the seller got a hefty fine and had to start over in the process of registering a hot rod with a custom frame. He is no longer in business.
