Incorrect dash vin tag

Here is what you have to do if you have a car with no VIN tag and want to drive it, sell it or "whatever". You have to call your local Sheriff's department. They will send a deputy out to inspect the car. They will look at any paper work you have and run any numbers "anywhere else" on the body. If everything checks out good, you will be issued a state issued VIN tag. This is the same thing they do for scratch built hot rods and vehicles....trailers and whatnot that people build from scratch. Same procedure. There IS a legal path, but swapping factory VIN plates AIN'T IT.
