Not to be arguementative, but the vin swapping can be done legally if it is supervised by law enforcement after proper application and the old car is destroyed and the new car would have a salvage title.
I think this is more a case of an insensitive owner doing an unsympathetic restoration on a basket case rust bucket that nobody would be interesting in
riding in let alone owning if it were not for the profit potential associated with the Shelby moniker. That said, I kind of like it. I bet it gets right on up there price wise near 50,000 USD, or it gets pulled before auction close.
Any other guesses ?
