Roadrunner or Not

Correct. A California issued ID# will look like what I posted before, it would be DMVxxxxxCA.

Or at least, that's what they used to look like, because I have one. And the title would have to match that number, and the tags with that number would be permanently attached to the frame.

The CA ID# on the title would not resemble a VIN.

I don't believe it has a California DMV issued VIN number! I think what she means is that it has a clear title, the car came from California, and the VIN on the title was cleared as not stolen! Of course we all know that VIN is not correct, and is not on the chassis of the car unless it was stamped on by the inventor of that VIN! Stamping that VIN on the car would be very difficult to do, the trunk lip is really thick and almost impossible to hand stamp, which I don't believe the factory did! Same with the rad support!!

If it were my car, I would be taking a pencil rubbing of those body numbers, getting the casting date and the numbers off the pad and pan rail of the motor if it has it, and the number from the trans! It would drive me nuts not knowing what year motor is in the car and whether it could be original, as well as the trans! It would sure narrow things down to know theyre origin!!
