Re: 1985 TBI Canadian Plainsman
Over here you would have to get a "state issued" VIN, if you decided to start over. It would bare no resemblance to the factory issued VIN interms of characters, meaning and sequence.
Regarding: "...someone said GM can reissue VINS": do you mean for vehicles where the VIN has been altered/defaced? No - that would be the state issued VIN above. Or - do you mean for vehicles that are shipped to outside conversion companies? Once again - no; once the vehicle leaves the assembly plant that VIN is supposed to be forever affixed and unaltered. I can even give an example: we are taking some North American 2011 "saleable" base vehicles and converting them to 2012 European nameplate "non saleable" vehicles. Even in this extreme case we will leave the VIN as it is (normally non-saleable vehicles get an "EX" VIN). K
