Texas is a "hemroid" about regitration. I tried to get this car registered, sent regitered letters to last owner(no response) and eveything then they said it had to be running before they would consider it for a title and it had to pass a Texas Department of Public Safety inspection at the DPS station. Well the engine(304) is not in the car yet but when told this they said come back when it is.
Lost in Wichita Falls, TX

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~
