Help... Vin #'s dont match

For what it's worth:

My son had bought a '68 Chevelle from a car dealer here in Nebraska. The dealer had picked it up at a car auction in Kansas. The car had been owned by someone in South Dakota at the time of the auction. - Sounds confusing already.

To top it off, the dealer said he didn't have all the paperwork ready when my son bought the car. Spencer was ready to head to Georgia for basic training in the army and wanted to take the Chevelle with him. The dealer assured him the title would be in the mail and provided everything else but the title.

Skip ahead 2 years later and Spence was coming back home on his first leave after serving a year in Iraq. He still had not gotten a title but was able to license the car in Georgia without one.

I was able to contact the dealership and did get a new title made. In Nebraska you have to have law enforcement inspect cars that are purchased from out of state to verify the VIN #s match. They had a list of VIN locations for various vehicles that they used to search each of the numbers on the car. We were lucky because everything was kosher.

I realize that every state has their own laws but I thought I'd chime in to let you know that some will look at the VIN stampings.
