Changing the Title

[txrocco at sbcglobal.net (ATS - Patrick Bureau)]

looks like the car ya have was saved by a rocco owner ...He probably had a
79 and a 81, but no title on the 81...now that said, if the car is
registered, and you declare it as swapped vin, they will go after revious
title owner of the car  (basically same as stealing a car)... and will
inpound the 81 during the process.
think about it.

I have an 84 right now like that, title is registered in the name of someone
that left the country and cannot be contacted. His buddy was holding the
car, but after 3 years, he sold it to me for parts (no title) ... now I get
to dance with TxDot to get it back on the road... ie: mechanical lien,
bounded title (pay 1.5x blue book value of car) or swap vin..

=>Hey all!
=>
=>Been busy doing GOBS of stuff lately and finally found out
=>(thanks whoever posted the free carfax link) that my car is
=>clear!!!  What I mean is that I got a Scirocco from Decker this
=>spring and found out that the car is registered a 79 but actually
=>an 81.  I ran the right vin number and it is clear, not stolen,
=>etc. etc.  BUT, now I have to decide whether I want to try to
=>re-register it as an 81 or to just leave it as a 79.  The real
=>iritating thing about this is that the guy who did this stuff to
=>the car ripped the sticker out of the door jamb!!  He tried to
=>scrape the vin off of the rain tray but you can still make it
=>out.  He did swap the dash from the 79 though.
=>
=>Anyone have any thoughts on this??  Will the DMV/DOL mess with me
=>because the title is lost??  I can't believe this guy went
=>through all of that work to register a cleared car!!  Idiot!
