I also had good luck at the southern / greenfield office. They looked at my car checked the vin plate (that I just stamped) and gave me the title as a 1965 ford Cobra. Not one problem at all, I also have the vintage plates, it throws everyone for a loop. I was shocked that they did not check anything mechanical on the car including the safety features. My tags are very cheap, the way it should be for a weekend car.
Good luck,
Brian
P.S. Get that Chevy out of there and get a real motor!
