Could this be a sandman - Chassis swap

[TwoTees]

if it does not have a matching tag chassis number to chassis stamped number then it has mismatching numbers.
the numbers which are mismatching are the chassis number which then do not match the tags therefore taking with it from a collectible point the value of matching numbers..therefore no longer a matching number tag to chassis collectible.
the identity of any vehicle is the chassis number for registration purposes in any state of australia.this is a legal requirement for registration.
now i have typed this slowly and i would like everyone to read it slowly..

There are 3 entities discussed in the legislation .....EDIT well actually more but only 3 relevant to this topic.
A "Component identification number" unique number
A "Vehicle Part" a chassis, engine or body shell
And a "Registrable Vehicle"

The "registrable vehicle" has a "Vehicle part" and a vehicle part has a component identification number.
Quote from the definitions section...
"component identification number, when used in relation to a part of a registrable vehicle, means the number and any accompanying letters or symbols stamped on or otherwise affixed to that part as a means of identifying the part" and also in its own description "Component" identification number not a vehicle identification number.

Jump a few paragraphs down to here...


68 Change or replacement of vehicle part

Any person who changes or replaces a vehicle part of a registrable vehicle must:
(a) notify the Authority of such change or replacement within 14 days of the change or replacement, and
(b) specify the following in the notification:
(i) the date of the change or replacement,
(ii) the registration number, if any, of the vehicle,
(iii) the name and address of each registered operator of the vehicle,
(iv) the make and component identification number of the vehicle part removed from the vehicle,
(v) the make and component identification number of the vehicle part substituted for the original vehicle part,
(vi) the name and address of the person from whom the substituted vehicle part was obtained, and
(c) retain a copy of the notification in the person’s possession for a period of 6 months, and
(d) produce a copy of any such notification for inspection if requested to do so by any police officer or the Authority.
Maximum penalty: 20 penalty units.

The end of the section

So once the chassis has been changed the Authorities require within 14 days, a date, the rego if it is registered, your name, the make of the chassis and number being removed, The make and number of the replacement chassis and the details of where you got it. Keep all this handy for 6 months and show the cops or rego person if asked. Done

No where do they want details of the previous donor registrable vehicle if any. So no identity has been transfered to the recipient registrable vehicle.

More editing....
(v) the make and component identification number of the vehicle part substituted for the original vehicle part,

It clearly states you are substituting a vehicle part Not substituting or putting a new body on a different registerable vehicles chassis
