Yep. It's all about the VINs.
So if you have a stolen 996 you buy this junk, get the VINs suddenly your car is legit.
That car will fetch more than many people expect..

Apart from the scrap value of the steel I can't think of a legitimate reason for this. I'm suprised that it is allowed to be sold in this way and that the VIN doesn't have to be removed/destroyed.

Might be worth a laugh to record that VIN, put it in a safe place, then wait a year or so and CARFAX it again... see where it turns up.

or feel free to re-contact me in a year or so and I will run it through CLETS for you.

I really love the part in the ad where he writes: "Please email me if you need any other Porsche parts..."
OK, and I'm going to buy used parts from a guy that sells that thing? :confused:

If it does turn up in a year or so, I hope there is some FBI car-theft-ring investigation unit that looks into it.
