After speaking to a few folks around town, I've learned that I can obtain a VIN number from the State Police if I tell them it is a customized LSV (not a golf cart). As long as it meets all the requirements, the State Police will assign a VIN number to it after they inspect it and, of course, all fees are paid. The state police will provide me with a receipt of inspection which I then take to the DMV.

I'm not sure if the information I received is true or not, but I shall find out soon. ;)
