It is my hope that the car the VIN came from is no longer in existence, as to have two vehicles with the same VIN, being actively titled in the federal database will cause all sorts of headaches for the owners.

So, the builder of this FFR decided to register it with the VIN of a 1965 Mustang? Why? What's the point of that? Cheap registration fees? Avoid emissions controls?
And how the heck would a buyer go about checking a Federal database to figure if the original 1965 Mustang was destroyed? And what does it matter, if it was destroyed, it's not like the original car was rebuilt. The FFR is completely different car and it's a kit car.
I can't even imagine going into the CA DMV and explaining that story. I mean, I had a hard time just getting them to get my name and address correct.
Every time I simply buy a used car from out-of-state, they give me the "3rd degree."
