NO DMV is going to care about ANYTHING in the VIN number except for the actual serial number digits at the end of the VIN. They JUST look at the VIN to make sure it matches up with the paperwork
No VIN clerk is going to go to some VIN decoder someplace to figure out that, "Hey, this should be a coupe and it's a vert."
Same deal with Fords where the VIN contains a letter code for the engine in the car. If the DMV clerks around the US were running VIN decoders for all those old classic Fords out there - hobbyists would be in a world of hurt. NO DMV clerk is going to look at a Ford VIN and then go out and refuse to title the car because the VIN say there should be a straight 6 in the car and there is a 351 Cleveland in there now.
As long as the Title says it's a convertible and that matches the car - you are golden.
