68 Barracuda Formula S 340 missing trim tag and Vin / dash

i've been around a fair amount and never heard of "been verified" as a vin check site (only as a background check service), so to me whatever info they have is suspect at best.

the only one i'd trust to tell me if the car is clean is the national insurance crime bureau.

now here's the rub... you don't have an actual vin to run, you just have whatever the person that reg'd up the car last decided to put on the title.

to me, this reeks of a stolen car or a title wash.

unless you can procure paperwork that pre-dates 05, and said paperwork is extensive, conclusive and has provenance-- ie official, then this whole thing is hinky.
