Sound like something out of East Germany Staasi Police in the 1960s or 1970s, not the "Land of The Free"
Wow.

Is the VIN number way off or close? Could it be a DMV error?

I think what the OP means is that the hidden VIN stamps do not match what is on the VIN tag. I’ve seen the hidden VIN off by 1 digit from the factory, but anything other than that is usually a rebody.

Good catch EZNova, Mark have that website copied or just do some simple screenshots of these claims before they make any changes. This would go to the dealer "knew or should have known" portion of any legal action an attorney will write. Copy anything that brags about his knowledge of cars, restoring cars and can show his expertise. This should lay a foundation for the attorney to write the suit.

Also, the attorney (and I also recommend the lawyer here) will have to be familiar with VINs and ConVins and lemon laws of that state as well as federal statutes (since it passed state lines).

Finally, the dealer may (should) have liability insurance for these things, and a lawyer will be able to negotiate with them direct and even if the dealership does not want to settle they (the insurance) might rather than have to have a duty to defend on a costly suit.

My .02,
