What have I got?

probably confiscated....go thru another state...

That might not work, either. Let's say you "go through" another state and manage to get a "clean" title for the 68 numbers, then he tries to transfer into Texas

Surely Texas inspects cars (VIN) before transferring title?

So if you happen to get an inspector that's a little too attentive, he might just look at both the rad support and dash VIN

And if Texas searches, they will probably still show that VIN as a "salvage."

THAT could be a lot of trouble for nothing.
