Re: [FWDLK] Missing VIN Tags

That being the case, I would think that is would be a "Caveat Emptor"
situation for anyone considering doing business with this fella on EBay.
But then, like Mr Svalbard suggested in a previous post, maybe it is I who
is the naive one, not realizing this sort of stuff goes on all the time.

It just makes me wonder, how many of our prized Mopars are not really what
they seem to be due to these sorts of shenigans?  I guess it all boils down
to what we don't know won't hurt us, right?
