[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Title question

["lumina333" <lumina333@xxxxxxxxx>]

I seems that my state is pretty lax about registration specifics. I 
have registered 2 Gremlins here, a 76 and a 74. Both were registered 
as 74. The previous owner of the 76 got the car from his brother who 
had bought it off another guy whose mother had passed (it was 
originally her car). Noone could find the title so the owner told me 
he just registered it as a 74 to avoid the hassle. Guess my state 
doesn't check VINs that closely because it was clearly a 76 VIN on 
the car. Of course, when I bought it, I left it as a 74. ~Lu~
