Currently registered.On Jun-06-12 at 14:23:43 PDT, seller added the following information: Reserve lowered to $4,600, happy bidding!On Jun-06-12 at 18:09:00 PDT, seller added the following information: I checked into the VIN on this truck. This truck was originally titled with the engine number. The desoto we have on ebay is the same way. However, the desoto has its original engine, so it can be checked. Researched and found that this truck does not have the original motor. So you wont have a match. The serial number is on the door jamb but was not used for the VIN. Some states did the motor number back in the day. I have papers showing numbers over the years of dodge engines starting with T112 like the VIN designation, that could be shown, with a statement of facts form to a motor vehicle dept. They should be familiar with the fact that some early cars used to be titled by engine number in some states.. hopefully. May require a vin verification form as well. The vin on the title, the motor number, would be a 218 or 201 c.i. motor originally. The motor in it now has a number starting with D42 which looks like a 1952 230c.i. Sorry for any confusion.
