Bob,
Does the tag on the car's cowl match the serial number on the frame?

Bum deal that the other tag has been torn off.

John,thanks for the reply.the tag on the door is broken off.The one on the cowl is still there,can this be of any help?.Ken the person I purchsed this from is trying to get the resolved through the NY DMV.He has owned this since 1998.I don't want to go the attorny route if possible.Again,I would appreciate any helpful hints.I would like to drive this car sometime this summer.

Bob,
If memory servers me correct;
You purchased this car from an auction, correct?

Auction companies have certain responsibilities asociated with cars they auction.

If you have a car that has a data plate serial number that does not "match" the serial number (stamped) on the frame, there is trouble present.

Some persons will change a data plate because it represents a car style that brings more money and is more desirable.
Examples>> Std Camaro vs SS model, or a Mustang to a Mustang GT.

Whatever the case, I would be contacting the owner the vehicle was purchased from and placing request for them to straighten this up, not to be demanding, a full refund could be requested.

Changing serail numbers on a car, or substituting another false serial number on it, a REAL no no Bob.

One other thing, sometimes a serial number is changed because a legitimate title could not be found or realized for the car, loans, theft etc.
Easy thing,>> pop on a cowl or door jam tag with matching title and call her good, THATS until something like this jumps back at them and bites.

Again, the auction co should be notified.
I am no attorney, but I have had experience in such matters.
You might want to contact an attorney, hate those boys even though I have done car business with some, the car guy ones had integrity, how ironic, huh.

I wrote a quite in depth article at the Tucker site regarding such things.
Seems some Tuckers had stamped serial numbers that did not match the stamped Data plate tag #, easily explained, kind of like early 65-67 Shelby's.
Hope this helps Bob,
till the next time,
john
