checked the vin and to my surprise it is a 74. In further confusion I checked the registration and WTF! Different number! I must of got the wrong title for the car when I bought it.
Oh wow, that is horrible! That makes it a mess. I feel your pain: bought a 4X4 Diesel 14 years ago, paid it off 13 years ago, 3 years ago the lien company went out of business and my truck got a new lien!
