Absolutely. First off, altering any component of the VIN# will get you
into BIG BIG legal trouble in most parts of the US. If you live somewhere
that issues titles, your title will no longer match the VIN... and you
will be unable to sell or register the vehicle.
Also, it's *morally wrong* because you will be distorting the resale value
of the car. The bloke who buys the car from you will be *taken* for the
difference between the car's *actual* value and what you're selling it
for, with "matching numbers".
Please don't do these kinds of things to your fellow LBC enthusiasts. I'm
an honest person, and I would expect to be treated as such, not screwed
around.
