Fantastic day here in Too Many Project's world

Glad to hear it's resolved.

I've had a couple titles corrected in MN and both were very easy, but neither was as complicated of a problem like the entire VIN being wrong. One was a '25 Model T titled as a '24. Correcting was very simple, as showing the serial number on the title being May 1925 production couldn't have been 1924 model year. The other was a '55 Chevy with a "5" in the VIN where the St. Louis plant "S" belonged. Correcting the VIN was pretty easy there as well with pictures of the VIN.

Applying for title on Cale's 55 was also pretty simple. We bought that without any title. About $300 and a couple page form filled out got us a clean and clear legal title in my name in 30 days.

IF the PO had used the vin instead of info off the trim tag, this would never have happened. In talking with this last DMV person, she revealed the original title was court ordered and didn't go thru a DMV office, which probably explains why it wasn't caught at that time. I still think with the MN taxpayers, having spent over 200 million to get an undated, properly working title and license program, it should have caught the 12 digits instead of 13 for 1970. According to my son, who now does titling work for a dealership, and the lady at the last DMV, if the state titling computer doesn't detect 17 digits, it automatically declines the transfer, but they can still override the decline and enter a vin manually and it will accept it. Doesn't seem like we got everything that system should be able to do for the amount of money spent.
