re: cowl tag

My first thought would be not legal but it does not have the cars VIN and there is a company that will repo the one off your car if yours was damaged or removed for some reason. I know this topic has been talked about on this site in the past.

It's not a VIN tag. It's a cowl tag. Totally-different thing.

I don't know why anyone would want it.

It is probably legal to do this, depending on where you live to some extent.

A person can sell cowl tags on the net ... and one can probably even place a different cowl tag on a car legally.

A person can sell VIN plates on the net ... but it becomes illegal when one tries to put it on a car.

Just my opinions.

I don't either, unless you were starting a cowl tag collection. To be any use on a car, it would have to be an Ermine White 62 Chevy II convert with red and ivory interior and missing the cowl tag. Because they don't reproduce these interiors, you see very few 62 verts around with original trim. Most restore using 63 trim packages. Pretty difficult to match up this tag with a car.

It's illegal to sell VIN tags in every state as far as I know.

I'm not sure about cowl tags but I don't see why it would be illegal to sell them. You can't really do anything with them that you couldn't do by legally having a reproduction made. You can't have a reproduction VIN tag made under any circumstance though (legally that is).

Thats right!

It's legal to sell or buy a trim tag except Oklahoma.

Ethical? hmm....thats another story!
