Missing VIN tag... Stamped numbers match title. Should I buy??
I posted this in the Gen I forum, but there might be someone here who knows, so I'll ask here also:
I found a 67 convertible for sale for $5000 and it is in pieces, but every part of the body is in very good condition and ready to paint, as well as the frame. The guy has had the car for 16 years and is now selling it. He said it is missing the VIN tag on the dash, but has the title and the VIN number stampings in the sheetmetal (firewall?) matches the title. I am still waiting for more pictures to be sent to me. I live in Washington State, and am wondering if this is going to be an issue getting this licensed when I get it put back together. What do you all think? If he can't find this tag, can I get it replaced? Or will I even need it if the other numbers match the title? I called Washington State Patrol, but they are closed, so I am wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this.
Thanks!

Sorry bout that, I just wanted to make sure someone would see my question. So even if somebody isn't looking in the particular forum that I posted the question in, will it still be read by the most members? Or would they have to be in that forum that i posted it in?

A lot of members float around to different sections, myself included. If someone has the interest or knowledge about what you're asking, you'll get a response.
