Nope, but the VIN tags have been known to come off, especially if the rust is bad enough. I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few Mopars had their tags screwed back on.

My VIN is also secured with small phillips head screws
on my Polara. Anyone else?

Some folks here have data on the methods used to affix v.i.n. tags on fenders which _SHOULD_ assure the diligent Motor Vehicle folks that the tags are real. Of course, the fact that lots of the MV folks are not as old as our vehicles may enter into the deal. That, and I would guess the manufacturers started out with little if any Federal "guidance" as to the format for the ID tags can easily result in a bit of confusion on the part of "Officialdumb".

For what it's worth, two early A bodies in my
posession and a third I
found on the internet have their VIN tags secured
with phillips headed
sheet metal screws.  In all cases, I have no reason
to believe that the
vcehicles have had tags swapped, because the tags
and the fenders they
are screwed to have matching rust and paint
patterns.  I suppose those
_could_ be faked by someone with the correct
materials and lots of time.
That hardly seems likely on Early 60's Dodge Dart
170, 270, and GTs that
have not even been restored.

Of course, the disconnect is that reasonable folks
expect the public
"servants" to act with a bit of what we laughingly
call "common sense".
