This sounds like an urban legend. Let's let someone who actually did it come forward. I'm not saying one way or the other, just being not from Missouri, but "show me".
I know of only one incidence of vehicles that were re-VIN'd. (Not) surprisingly they involved Shelby GT500s (after Shelby was out of it). The last remaining 1969 GT500s were re-VIN'd as 1970 model year cars. The FBI was present to destroy the 1969 VIN plates and supervise the new 1970 plates.
But of course by then, they were just "replicas".
It would be a bit of SAAC history to know the original 1969 VINs or which 1970 VINs they became but I've never seen it come up anywhere.
