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!!!
