Andrew,
I have seen many mangled "VIN Numbers" on vintage car titles.
Apparently when DMV's across the country became computerized, there was no
standard on how to input 17 digits in on a title for a car with a 4 or 5
digit serial number.
The solution for my 1960 Morgan registered in Hawaii was to insert 13 zeros
in front of the 4 digit serial number.
I had a 1964 AH 3000 with a CA title that was AHEALEYBJ then the body tag
number

I just went to get a title on a TR which came with a factory overdrive. The
old title appropriately ended "LO", but I was told that "Os" and "Is" are no
longer acceptable in titles. So I had to change the VIN (on the title) to
"L0". Then I had to call the insurance company to explain the same story to
them and have them send me a proof of insurance with "L0".
Anyone else come across this? Maybe it has been going on for years: I have
4 cars with overdrive, but this was the first factory one.
