the distinct possibility it was a rebuild from salvage parts. I have a 47-48 Chevy that has a different frame. The State Police could locate the real serial number and they retagged the car using the frame number and Chevy suffix. When I was rebuilding it again in 2006-2012 I located the original plate, I removed it so there would be no question on the new tag. What funny is the couldn't even get the model correct. They should issue a new unique tag and let the car go.

I dealt with a 73 Plymouth Cuda that had to be inspected it had three different numbers on it. One secret, One public and one on the paperwork. Turned out the rebuilder cut up parts from two different cars and installed a dash with the incorrect VIN. I ordered the owner to take the care for SP inspection, in NY they have officers assigned to that task. The owner was later able to pursue a civil claim to recoup money he paid for a car the was doctored up to be more valuable.

NY is trying to sell a new Corvette that was a stolen recovery and its not sold dur to vin issues.
