No vin on play pac= no title=no regiatratuin

[Bill K]

How about asking DMV if they can back track the title through the old plates.

It's a long shot but a question cost nothing.

Bill, When I called DMV they say their records only go back to 2002 (?!?!?!?!) We called another DMV and asked them"what if a murder occurred in a vehicle, what do you do to locate the vehicle owner?" I mean...2002?!?!?!? How can you delete all your records from that long ago?????? So someone is looking to see if there are archives. Someone did this before with the same trailer same missing VIN

Why is it illegal to put your vin on your trailer. If your title has the vin and you got that title with your trailer, then it is not illegal to stamp your vin, just like stamping your last 4 digits ssn on tools and other items you own, it is a way of identifying something you own.
You can buy the die set at Harbor Freight, I'm going to do mine as my vin is slowly disappearing off my label.

Do you have a vin number anywhere on any paperwork.

There was no paperwork. It sat in her barn for 30 years and she gave me a bill of sale, thats it

After doing all my research before purchase and getting all MY ducks in order and jumping through their hoops, I was told today my play pac is garbage and not worth a thing. Yep...exact words. Despite being told they will assign me a vin that I can then use to get a title. They now dont know what to do. I filled out their form, paid their fee, just like they told me. Went to the guy who was supposed to inspect it to make sure it isnt stolen, and then issue me a vin. They didnt tell me they think its stolen. I have a bill of sale and letter from the person who owned it for the last 10 years. And yet...for some very unclear to me reason, wont give me a VIN. I want a crying emoticon...because thats what I am doing.

I can not figure out what you are saying?
Will they not follow through and let you get it on the road?
I think thats what you are getting at?

If they will then who cares what they think of its worth or value?
Everyone thinks we are crazy here really anyway!

I really know nothing about how this all works, and this probably sounds stupid, but is it possible to sell it to someone here whose state will give it a title and then buy it back after that person gets it titled?

This is illegal everywhere because anyone could put any number on any vehicle.

If you read my post, I'm putting the number from my title on my trailer, I'm not making up a number. It is my VIN and I can stamp it as many times I wish, just like cars now have it in multiple places to prevent "chop shops" selling parts.

Duplicating a lawfully stamped, original number is one thing- presumably you can show an inspector the original stamping.
BUT:
Anyone can have a title with a number on it.
You can't just take a number off that piece of paper and stamp it on what amounts to any vehicle you choose that lacks a legal stamping .
What would be the purpose of the system if such shenanigans were allowed?
