Having worked through Dallas County, DPS, Dallas Police Department, back to Dallas County, the Auto Theft Task Force, and back to Dallas Police Department, I finally found the answer. The Dallas Police Department will do these inspections (contrary to what they told me yesterday), for Dallas residents only, and by appointment only, with early morning time slots Tuesday through Friday. My appointment is Thursday, hope to have title stuff done and plates by end of week. For those in Dallas, the number is 214-670-5900. Thank you all for help and advice.

Yesterday, three Dallas Police Department detectives spent forty-five minutes under my car looking for (and finding) serial numbers. (And a few other officers came over to admire by baby.) They completed the VTR-68-A form. They were very helpful, no fee. I then went to the Dallas County tax/car title office. I had a picture of the car, which got everyone's attention and generated lots of conversation They were also very helpful. End of story: I got title and plates, shown as 2010, with remarks that it is a 1965 replica. (My inspection sticker shows 1965 replica, which means I don't have to pass current emissions standards.) If anyone in Dallas has to go through this, PM me, I might be able to help. Big time hassle, I spent close to two days on this, but you have to do it to get a title, and it is one time only. Love my baby.
