VIN number problems

[nhranut]

I live in Nevada. Recently purchased a 1949 Coronet in California. Went to DMV to register and title. Had to have a VIN inspection because of out of state car. It was discovered that the VIN # on CA title is the number that is stamped on the block of the engine. Of course the car has a VIN # on the door pillar. They told me I have to get CA DMV to correct the title. What a headache! Has anyone else ever had this issue?
