I live in NC and just bought my '30 Coupe in December. It came with an out of state title using the engine number as the VIN. I walked into my local tag office and 15 minutes later walked out with my temporary plate. I registered it as an "antique" (which I recommend) and my Antique plate arrived in the mail a week later. I keep this under the seat in case I am asked for it since I have a 1930 plate on the car. I also have a hardcopy of the NC law which allows this with my registration in the car.
Three weeks later and still waiting for a letter from the state asking me to bring the car in to verify the VIN. Once that is done, I should get a NC title.
As long as the inspector can see a number on the car that matches your existing title, it should be an easy process.
BTW, registering as an antique will save you money each year on the property tax. There is no downside to doing this.
Good luck & welcome to NC
