You can't move/alter a VIN plate in most states although some do allow it because once again the body is also just a part, the VIN just happens to be attached to it. Usually requires both titles and someone of power to witness the swap. I have never had anyone look at a VIN other than the VIN plate, the one usually in the windshield. Most wouldn't even know where any others are. Here out of state titled vehicles they have to look at the VIN before transfer. I had to do it for a '65 Corvair. She went to the windshield. I said hey it's under the hood. No, that's the trunk. I said it's under the hood, back here.
