Incorrect dash vin tag

No that is not what happened. What happened is, no one had a legit title for the original car. They either swapped the dash frame, or they swapped the VIN tag with a car that HAD a title. What he has is a title for a dash VIN tag and nothing else, fully, legally, speaking. Wherever the rest of that car is, "he owns it"

Hey 67Dart273,

I would tend to agree with you except for one glaring issue... The VIN tag is fake!

Check the image below. The letters and numbers in the vin are raised.

In the one the op posted the numbers and letters are depressed.

Not a factory vin tag. So where did it come from? If government issued , it would say so on the new registration paperwork.

What he has is a car with a fake tag using vin information from another car that was wrecked/crushed or possibly stolen.
