Incorrect vin # on title

[Bow Tie 67]

I could use some feedback. I'm looking at a 69 Camaro and all indications point to the fact that the car has never been titled correct. The clean title the owner has lists the Fisher Body ( cowl tag ) # 12437NOR111... as the vin # instead of the dash vin # 12437N679... and they dont match, as I don't think any ever did with the way these cars were produced.

Both myself and the owner have contacted law enforcment friends and both show no record of the actual vin # period. The Body number comes up as him owning the car. The body tag was removed during the resto, but he still has it. The number on the upper cowl matches the actual vin #.

I'm not sure how to proceed to get this corrected, so I have a clean title with the correct vin # in my name. Walking away from this car is my last option.

I was thinking of just applying for a lost title. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
