Roadrunner or Not

Since the car has a VIN # issued by the Dept of MV of California, local cops said it is good to go. We'll prolly never know what the car really was/is so going to enjoy it and not worry about it any longer.

I think the problem still remains that if pulled over, there is no way to tie the registration with the car, there is no VIN tag to correlate the two! You may have a clear title in your name, but without that same number on a proper VIN tag, you risk the legal consequences of an astute cop actually following through with his duty, and not allowing the car to continue being driven, and confiscating it! May never happen, may happen tomorrow, that's the chance you take! Geof

If it actually had a California issued ID# and the number matches the title there should be at least two different California ID tags permanently attached to the car. On my car that has this they're on the door jamb and the front frame rail.

Even out of state that should be more than enough confirmation for a traffic stop.
