Roadrunner or Not

When you say tag, you mean a decal for the license plate? Or a new coded tag to put on the car and stays there?

There must be something that links the car to the paperwork. What's on the registration? Up here we call the paperwork registration and it clearly has a location for a vin and the vin is the same as what's on the vehicle linking the two.

Yes, the State of CA Dept of MV issued a VIN plate in 2003 and that matches the title. When I called, I was told that there is no evidence of foul play in their data base and that the car was re-titled when it was restored or salvaged. However, when deciphering the VIN # there is a discrepancy as it states it is a Roadrunner but then says it had a 318.

As you might recollect, that was what my first post was about. Evidently, one of the numbers was transposed or entered incorrectly back in late 2002, early 2003 when the car re-surfaced. That's my issue. Trying to figure out if it is a RR or Satellite so that I can call it what it is.

I did learn (after holding for an hour) from one of the threads on the title search that the records were purged but that the car was sold by a "car business" in 2003. They would not give me any more information than that. I'm still digging.

Will keep you posted of any new developments. In the meantime, I best get back to work!!!
