Not Ranked
terry, unfortunately some states CHANGE the VIN on the title to one they at their state DMV fabricate. in that case, there are dual serials on the car...the SPF serial ( or other brands) and the state serial they make up. in my case, i have both the SPF serial as stamped as was on my MSO and the MIchigan serial that the state DMV concocted for my car. they also applied a separate sticker with THEIR vin near the spf vin sticker . so i have two visible spf serials (frame rail and sticker) and the Michigan vin sticker. duh. now , talk about confusing. so the title in my case shows the michigan vin and not the spf vin. duh.
and yes, i have seen some cars represented as brand x.y, z and they are a, b, c..so buyer beware. i have chased some shelby mustangs that turned up bogus too...thankfully their registry proved them to be a fake...ya never know.
i say unfortunately re changed vins, as it makes it harder to describe what ya have when selling as many folks get confused. michigan is not the only state that does that. and in some cases, local dmv's accept the spf vin, go figure. one is at the mercy of the state dmv office at time of registration first time if a new car. they all dont have the same song sheet. in reality the title / registration should show BOTH vins, SPF AND STATE ASSIGNED. but oh well, mich is not like califoney, thank goodness. or it would be worse !
sorry ya can't make dvsf and sorry for the rain there too...this has been one wet and wild spring so far, limited toy car usage to say the least. bill
