If it is a Tiger shell, then you could present it to the TAC committee
for scrutiny... But going further than that to re-establish its
provenance is going to be chancy. If it turns out that the true original
VIN (based on, hypothetically, matching ID numbers on the transmission,
diff, and keys, to a particular Tiger record in Norm's database) matches
a vehicle marked as 'stolen' in the relevant DMV's database, then the
DMV may make efforts to return the car to its rightful owner... And
charge everyone inbetween with posession of stolen property.
If they decide that they can't accurately establish the provenance of
the vehicle, then they might just assign it a state VIN... Or they might
take it to the crusher.
So on the one hand it would be good to positively ID another Tiger that
may have been 'lost'... On the other hand, the consequences may be hard
to take.
