Was the vin restamped or stamped where missing characters might not have been stamped in the first place? Metuchin workers sucked back then. Ask me how I know....

The last 5 digits of the VIN look different. The 3, the two and the 5 look different in size and font style. That is to me but Pete thinks they look fine.

Which one? Tag on dash - the VIN on the aprons? If only one looks funny I'd say it's ok if all look messed with I'd walk away.

Values, wow that's deep

You have sentimental, intrinsic, material, extrinsic e5c

But look at current SOLD values and add or detract for options, colors, etc

Most importantly be happy with your purchase and drive it

They say "life is short"....enjoy
When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

This is why it takes someone who has extensive knowledge of VIN stampings and not just someone who has seen one or two anomalies. Yes there are some assembly line miscues but you need to study a long line of stampings to see patterns or how things were "fixed" when gone wrong. I've seen the stampings on this particular car and align with Pete who didn't exclusively say they were alright he said based on what he saw from a picture they looked ok but couldn't authenticate from a distance. It might even take being stripped to bare metal top and bottom to authenticate
