I have a real title and a real frame with numbers that match the title....I bought it from a friend in Texas..... when I took it down to the DMV for the out of state title transfer, they have to inspect the VIN...easy enough. I put the frame on the flat bed truck and hauled it to the DMV. The inspector came out and looked at my paperwork and asked "where is the 32 Ford?"
"right there on the truck, sir!"
"you cant drive that!"
"I'm not here to take a driving test, sir"
"it's just a frame"
"that's where the serial number is"
"let me talk to my supervisor"
"OK"

They agreed to give me a title but not a license plate until it is inspected to be roadworthy.
