If you OWN both cars it can't possibly be theft. Preproduction cars, Concept cars, Show cars, race cars, etc... never receive a VIN as they were not meant for the street. In that case getting a VIN is a nescessary evil for being able to drive on a public road.

I'm the first to admit that i don't know a hell of a lot on USA law, but you can't do it like that over here!
But you could just submit the car for a test to get a VIN and then a brand new registration number!

You'd be facing an NHTSA (safety) & EPA (emissions) nightmare here, as your new car would have to meet the standards of both agencies.
A good example is that after spending more than a quarter million dollars many years back Bill Gates gave up on getting his Porsche 959 registered.
More recently you can get a safety exemption if you can prove you are transporting the car to a car show... which is far from being able to drive it to work or elsewhere.
Many people will get VINs from pre-1967 cars to avoid all regulatory requirements.
QUOTE:
The 959 was not street legal in the United States prior to 1999 when the "Show and Display" law was finally passed, although an unknown number were imported via the "grey market" during the late 1980s as show pieces. During the model's development, Porsche refused to provide the United States Department of Transportation with the four 959's they required for crash testing, and the car was never certified by the NHTSA for street use in the U.S. With the passage of "Show and Display" the crash test requirements were removed and importation of the 959 was allowed, assuming the car could meet with the local emissions standards that would have existed as of 1987. The 959 can be fitted with a catalytic converter and a rechipped computer which will allow it to meet those emissions requirements. However most owners refuse to modify their 959s, and the cars remain as collection pieces.
