You should be able to register a car for title only. So you take the existing title and bill of sale and get the title changed into your name. Ignore the typo at this time.
Then you spend several years and a lot of money rebuilding it.
When it is running, and you can bring it to the DMV and deal with the title typo.
In order to fix the typo now, you would have to have a professional come out to your house to verify the VIN for $$$ and you may still have a huge hassle.
Again - ignore the typo for now. If it was in the serial number (end numbers of the VIN), that would be different.
