NO, back in the day, it was not unheard of to "borrow" a VIN from a rusty Mustang and register the Cobra replica using that. Some states allowed it, others viewed it as VIN tampering and impounded the cars, never to be seen again.
In your cars case, with the rollbar layout, I'm thinking a Holiday or an early Emerson, although the strange humps in the engine compartment opening have me stumped. Sadly, unless you can track the car back to it's original owner, you may never know.
More pictures from the place you purchased it can be found

My advice is to get shots of the chassis and suspension and post them here.
As long as you are happy, that is all that matters.
