So the registry responded with a stock answer about issuing a replacement Vin number
To replace a VIN # you would need to apply for a MA Assigned VIN#, please use the following link for more detailed information.
Applying for a Massachusetts-Assigned Vehicle Identification Number
Massachusetts-Assigned Vehicle Identification Numbers are assigned and affixed to the vehicle by the State Police at any Massachusetts salvage inspection site by appointment only. The State Police will inspect the vehicle to ensure the vehicle and any parts used to restore the vehicle are not stolen and whether the vehicle is eligible for a Massachusetts-Assigned Vehicle Identification Number.
