    I know a lot of states require an inspection (physical visuallook) at the VIN tag (an possibly other unique identifiers like the trim tag) when a vehicle is brought into the state for titling. Ask questions.

    No dmv employee,...ie a 45yrold woman is not gonna know what kind of rivet held the trim tag on a 72 buick hahaha,...trim tags are available new and can be stamped However you want,..not like they are advertising as it anything special and he'll it's 19k they are just wanting it gone haha

    It ain't like someone pulled the trim tag off a 350 skylark to put it on something to make it more desirable. Just saying....

    The inspections in the six states I've lived in and brought vehicles into never had a "regular" DMV person do the inspections (for VINs, tags and partial secret VINs), they were trained state Police or others you had to take your vehicle to and have the inspection and certification completed ... and all knew precisely where to look on the car for the info they were looking for .... the style of rivets were only one part of it. Also, it's not just classics at issue. Police are also looking for duplicate VIN'd vehicles which is a favorite of larger car theft rings .... taking VIN plates off wrecked cars and putting the numbers and VIN plates and data tags on stolen vehicles so that they are effectively given a new identity. Each state mantains its own DOT title and VIN registry, so most states use inspections like this when titling a vehicle brought in from another state.

    So on a buick they are going to pull the body off the frame,..grind the frame clean to un earth the vin on the driver frame rail,...remove the dash vin bezel check the rivets,....then Remove the rh fender and clean the firewall under the heater or AC box and unearth the partial vin there which Buick wasn't keen on stamping from my experience?? ,....OK sure

    Or on a camaro they are going to remove the wipers and trim to get the upper cowl vin ...

    I've got a ride with 3 different VINs on it, because it's made from multiple different vehicles. The clean and clear title I have to go with it matches the easiest one to change on the vehicle: the VIN on the door. It's 2 different years according to the frame, cowl, and door VINs even. Common sense dictates I own it, it'd be reported as stolen otherwise clear and simple. It's not something particularly desirable so I give exactly 0 you know what's. No fuss, no muss.

    I get VIN verifications done on old cars all the time. The county sheriff comes in and looks at the title to verify that it matches the numbers on the VIN plate. Dat's it. He will call in the VIN to the office to see if it's on the books as stolen or missing. But they never come up.

    As a dealer over 35 plus years selling 100' s of older cars I have never had anyone needing to inspect a vin # at DMV unless it was a salvage title.Once in blue moon I will catch some newbie employee who has no clue that pre 73 cars have 13 digit vin and may ask for a paper etching of the vin #

    Same here. My Riv was from Rhode Island and didn't have a title. 10 minute process with a cop and 1 form to fill out, done. Done a couple others that way too.

    17 Digit VIN's came into being in the 1981 model year. Before that, they really could be just about anything.
