I bought this last week and went to the court house to license it today. The lady at the court house said the VIN should have 17 digits, mine only has 13 digits. The title says it is a 1981. She said I would have to take a picture of VIN tag and they would have to fax a copy of the title and a picture of the VIN plate to the DMV at the State Capital. I took some pics and had them verified and signed by a County Sheriff that the numbers on the car and the title matched I came back home because it was late and the court house had closed for the day. I got online and started doing some research after trying to decode the tags it appears I may have a 1980. Maybe the title has the wrong year on it???Here are some pics of the car and the tags. You can view more pics here.

Can anyone tell me what year this really is? I am betting on 1980 with a mistake on the title. Hopefully it isn't to hard to get it straightened out at the court house tomorrow.
