So far as "claiming" a different year is concerned, it all depends on how down in the weeds you want to go. There are some vehicles in the "Book" that only need a cosmetic change to move from year-to-year (think 3rd Gen Nova) to more involved changes like differences in sheetmetal. Many "race cars" don't have their VIN tags anymore, so who's to say what the year is, as long as the vehicle presents itself correctly.

In this corrupt state, if you were transporting a race car with no VIN, it could get impounded on the spot.You would then have to provide some kind of paperwork verifying possession of the car through either the VIN or the frame number( secret number), this could take some time. Meanwhile, impound fees and secret taxes would increase, and what would be left of your original race car after it gets released from impound? Also, they would find some fine to apply for "illegally transporting a vehicle with an altered or missing VIN." Even if you don't live in a corrupt cesspool, not having the VIN in the correct location could cause you a snag, what if you towed through a state like that between your home and a race you were going to? Always have some paperwork to cover your self if you need it. God help you if you bought a race car with a certificate of title from another state and it came up stolen.
