It goes on in all restorations. In fact, you can buy a brand new 60s mustang, camero, etc. body (new stampings). How do you think most of those were titled? Hemings used to have vins for sale in their classifieds. Pay a couple hundred dollars and buy a clean title. A lot of that was cleaned up with the Titles Unlimited scandal, but it still goes on as there remain states that don't require titles for older vehicles.

The question posed is irrelevant. The real question is can you legally transfer a vin from one vehicle to another and the answer is no.
