I do agree there are some at the Dmv that want and can help
and others that do not know or care.. if it is going bad I have
left and went back another day

When I had my Vin done on my 1970 firebird years back
It was towed from Ohio and sat for 8 years.. I raced it for
another 6-7 years then decided to get it registered. I met
a firebird Chp officer at an event and he told me the second
vin was under the heater cover.. I pulled it back and cleaned it
up but you could only see it with a flashlight and mirror buried
under the fender
The vin checker told me the number was wrong.. I tried to
convince her the mirror was showing the numbers backwards

She finally said ok and asked me what was the metal it was
on.. I had to tell her it was the firewall... When I went inside
to finalize the paperwork they said something about maybe
fraud.. it did have a lien sale, along a signed over old title
out of the system.. never have heard back from them in 25 years
