Yes the VIN tag looks way off from original, but matches the ownership. Is there any chance that the car was simply re-vinned through proper govt channels similar to the way that a car bought from a scrap yard, abandoned, dead original owner...The list goes on? My guess that if it was a swapped dash, it would have some sort of OEM vin tag and proper rivets from the doner car. Thinking out loud......OP definitely has to run, or start jumping through hoops. But I certainly wouldn't try to slide this by anyone.
