Ford Mustang: VIN don't match ???

I have a friend that bought a mustang. But the VIN on the title
doesn't match the VIN on the left rail of the car.
The title says it's a Fastback. Wrong! It's a hardtop model like
the VIN on the left rail says. Both VIN's say its a 66.

Also, the car has also had the engine changed out (289 V8 for a car
meant for a 6).

So, is there some bizaar reason the title number shouldn't match
the car number?
Is there any way I can track the VIN on the car and see where
it leads? (like track the owners, if it was totaled, ect...).

No. Has your friend contacted the law dogs? He does NOT want to have
the appearance of complicity in the case of a stolen car with swapped
ID.
