Nowhere near as goofy as your situation, Mitch, but still not the proper format for a Chevrolet VIN of that era. I know I considered taking the car to my local Police Department and having them verify the correct VIN and submit their statement to the State of Illinois, but if I ever did that, I certainly don't remember it. Probably more likely that I just sold the car with the incorrect VIN on the title.

I went on the IL SOS website and searched both the incorrect VIN for our old Impala (nothing listed) and the correct one, which did show up. Last title activity shown was in 2005 (4 years after I sold it) and it is now listed as "Rebuilt". Not sure what that means, but it's probably not a good thing
