I've found several title issues over the years caused by DMV.
I had a 1973 Grans Am w/455 that came from another state. I always save a photocopy of the original title when I buy the car. The original title had the VIN, then under "type" it had CP.
The DMV office appended the CP to the end of the VIN number when it issued the new title. I went to sell the car and the problem cropped up. I showed DMV the original title and how they made a mistake, but they still required me to take it to DMV inspection to get an official DMV person to inspect it. It tooks months to straighten that out.

Buyer beware, but let me ask you guys how many of you would check the title when buying a car of this type? Be honest.
