Default Re-titling car in IL QUESTIONS

Back in '95, I built my Everett Morrison from a body and frame. To title it, I had to surrender the manufacturers' title I got with the car, and had to show what the entire car cost me (they hit me for sales tax because I brought a "car" into the state). They finally sent a Sec of State Police out to affix a SOS vin tag on the car. The downside: I have to test for emissions every year since it's considered an '87 (engine). Insuring it via title info is another joke...

I must have been the first to do this in IL.

So, the title they finally gave me has two years on it; one for the engine,the other for the year of the build. Unbelievable how they came up with that.

Anyway, I want to have it re-titled to reflect the year of the body, not the way they made me do it then. Anyone have any idea what to do next?

Need your input if you went thru the gyrations with the state, and also, if you have a contact in Springfield that can "understand" my dilemma.

Thanks for any help you can send me!
