how suspicious would you be
if you walked into a higher end restoration shop that has a 67 Corvette body/ frame that looked to have its paint removed with a right hand angle grinder already in gray primmer that they shot the whole body inside and out with engine compartment in primer as well and both the trim and vin tag are gone. with the body shop playing dumb about the vin tag being removed

I'd be careful not to get too close and burn myself on it.

My car, I would be tempted to grab my AR-15 and administer justice on my own as the State of Illinois sells justice at a higher price than I can afford.
Someone else's car, I would try to see if the Cops would investigate (not likely) of find the owner to warn him of his loss ahead of time.

I think I would reconsider them being a "higher end restoration shop".
Plus, it would cause me to push further, contact law enforcement, and at the very least make them aware of the vehicle.

Without knowing anything other than your opening post, I wouldn't suspect anything. Are they looking to sell it as yard art? Were you there looking to buy something that was advertised as....? Did you break into the shop to steal it? Need more info.

If you are walking around a shop you must know someone there. They just dont let people from the street walk around. You must have spent time looking at the car and for the Vin?
I would think someone bought the car to make a resto mod.
Did you ask about the car?

Maybe it is being transformed into a race car?
