I've added info to him in a PM...and yes, it CAN be registered. Not long ago, a buddy's '90 Corvette was re-registered in TX after being stolen nine years ago in OK. The numbers were never altered, and it too was on the NCIC hot sheet.
65Fury440, Thanks for the offer. I don't have need of your services at this time, but its nice to know someone more friendly than the DMV and more honest than the internet companies I could go to for this. I see there are others that disagree, but I wanted to express appreciation for your offer.
