Go to a junk yard. Buy a similar plane from the salvage company. "Rebuild" the plane by attaching all the parts of the previous plane to the data plate of the wrecked plane.

That happens a lot with old Jeeps. Just pull the vin plate off of a wrecked one and stick it on the one you found sitting in a barn somewhere, then go in and register it. My experience is that a pretty good percentage of Jeep CJs built before 1976 that are still on the road are registered that way. The rest of them are just sitting there waiting to be registered that way.

Why Not simply dummy up a bill of sale and send it in.... " "" Oh Look what we found"'"

Because you are an honorable person.

Edit, sorry...
Your statement was not personal so I will change my reply to :

Because much of society depends on people doing the right and honorable thing most of the time.

Jeeps, motorcycles, (some) classic autos...very common.

Isn't a dead man's signature invalid without witnesses or other authentication, such as those found in wills?

Not if you predate it before the dead man died -- the check you write today won't bounce next week if you die tomorrow. However, in this case, we're talking forgery, which violates a few laws and can land you in jail if you're caught. Unwise, I think -- there are lots of ways to be caught at this, and lots of other planes out there for sale.
