In NSW the identity of the vehicle is specified to be the chassis number stamped on the chassis for vehicles of that vintage (It is about the date that VINs were introduced, so it may have a VIN), but the key is still the number on the chassis - which must be the same as on the plate, if there is a compliance plate. The vehicle, if changed, for example, to a different engine, engineering approval is probably required.
The documentation required is what is referred to as a "blue slip", and it would be a good idea to find a blue slip provider who is prepared to work with you to find out what he will require. The primary aim of this document is to prove the identity of the vehicle. A receipt from the bloke who sold it to you will certainly help.
Also worth calling NSW RMS/Service NSW and talk to them about what you are planning and finding out what hurdles are in your way. But note that this is not something routine, and you are likely to have trouble finding someone to talk to who knows what they are talking about! (An informed blue slip provider who has done this sort of thing before is probably better, but the problem is finding one)
