Vin ID Help

I reached out to the dmv today and explained the issue I had with body parts not matching vin on car. I knew Alabama did not require a title on vehicles older than 35 years old but wanted to verify if I could that once I got car up and running I would not have an issue with registration. As long as I had a bill of sale with verification of vin on dash matching the vin on car I could register. They also were kind enough to run the vin and there were no record of issues for the last ten years, which is as far back as they retain records. I knew that I was buying a car that had been out of commission for quite a while. Thanks for the input and advise.
