California has licensed VIN verifiers. You can find them listing their services in Craigslist. I had a '75 I bought that I wanted to get titled and needed the VIN verified. The car could not be driven though. So I had someone come out to my house and fill out the paperwork. I think it cost me like $20. What was nice was that she looked at the engine but really didn't ask any questions about it. Since it was a '75 I don't think it really mattered. I would opt for a private VIN verifier before taking it to the DMV. I'd just hate to have them looking at a race car and raising other issues.
I was not so lucky on the fees though. I ended up paying over $700 in fees for a car that cost me $1,000!!!
