There are a bunch of traditional stockers out there without VIN numbers. Are you saying that Chip Johnson needs to park my 1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass because it doesn't have a VIN and wasn't sold through a dealership?

then follow the rest of the rules that the rest of us have to follow. Witch means no 9in rears unless it's a ford, no power glides unless it's a chevy,
All the rule changes of the last twenty years are what enabled the existence of the COPO, Drag Pak, and Cobra Jet. There were a ton of heated debates about those changes on the forums. In my opinion the end result is a case of "you get what you wish for".

and no four link rear ends there's a start and I'm sure there's a lot more!!!
Almost all the new cars are not friendly to the old suspension rules. Due to a lot of interest from racers, the NHRA allowed the implementation of "stock type" suspensions in the new cars. I think it started with the late model Corvettes and GTOs. Do you want them parked too? Do I need to put a torque arm under my new Camaro? (It has provisions on the center section just in case)
