Incorrect dash vin tag

Don't know if this has been discussed or not.

You have a car with a partial VIN stamped into the rad support, the engine the trans the (I presume) trunk lid opening lip.

You have a build sheet for the car.

As I understand it. the vin on the build sheet, rad support, engine, trans, and trunk opening lip all match.

What you don't have,
You don't have a VIN tag on the dash that matches the CAR's Vin
You don't have a bill of sale with the CAR's VIN

(You might have a bill of sale for the VIN tag on the dash, and a title for the VIN tag on the dash, BUT not for the car.)

If the seller is willing to send you a bill of sale for the CAR's VIN you might be able to title the CAR and the CAR's vin and have the DMV in NY assign you a new dash VIN tag.

It also might come out that the car was reported stolen and then the trouble starts. BUT you would have a bill of sale for the CAR with the CAR's VIN and the seller SHOULD be the one to go to jail, you would loose your value, and MIGHT be accused of receiving stolen property and transporting it over state lines.

Good luck.

By the way, how much value did you swap for this car. 1000.00 5,000.00, 10,000.00 ?
