Re: White-on-white houndstooth '69 with power windows
Thanks Tim. Just returned from visiting with the Arizona Automobile Theft Authority (I work downtown Phoenix and they are 10 blocks away so I took a walk over there) and they told me to be mentally prepared to lose the car as there's not likely to be any other reason for the dashboard VIN to not match the hidden VIN other than a theft. He did say, however, that it is possible that any potential theft was never reported or the vehicle wasn't insured at the time, so it wouldn't have ever been reported as an insurance claim for theft. If that's the case, then all I have to do is apply for a new VIN with AZ and I'm good to go. I'm now awaiting a call back from a member of the AZ Vehicle Theft Task Force to schedule a time for them to come out and do a physical inspection of the vehicle. I jokingly asked if they'd be bringing a flatbed and they said no...not on the first trip anyway.
