Opel Exporters Take Note

Gary · 2 Weeks Ago

Interesting link to a story of a VW that was being exported to Germany and how it was determined to have been stolen 35 years ago:

Over the past years I shipped many Opels back to Europe.
Several (5 or 6) of the Opels had different VINs on the door tag, dash, and/or the identification plate (riveted in the engine compartment ).
To avoid discussions with the customs folks, I removed (before shipping) all the VINs with deviations to the VIN shown in the title (and bill-of-sale).
One GT was very courious. Only the VIN on the LH door label was the same as shown in the title....but the US custom guy accepted this and signed the export documents
