Problem withVIN #

[Robert M]

   Technically yes but in reality you're not likely to get any static for 
it.  As that plate is riveted on it's not really a bona fide ID, since it 
could easily be moved to or from another car.  As long as the chassis vin is 
legible and matches I wouldn't worry about it.

$0.02,
