Corvette?

With all the post recently about motor stamps and vin plates on Corvettes, when does it stop being a Corvette? Say you have a legit title with the right ID plate etc. and change it to a tube frame. Ok, still a Corvette. Then you change the body to say a Cobra replica. Still has the Corvette ID but is it still legally a Corvette?

Why, oh why, would anyone want to devalue their car like that?

There has never been unanimous agreement on that point. ... I don't think your question will yield unanimous agreement either. Thinking about it is better than watching TV, but it is otherwise a pointless exercise.
