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

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

Two stories, nothing to do with the car in the post, just weird VIN stories

I sell Mustangs here in the UK 

Guy came to my shop and was desperate to purchase a car that I was working on. I mean he wanted it NOW. I was about a month out and he just could not wait. On the way home he called me to thank me for my time and said he had put a deposit on a GT500 at a dealer "up north" I said thats great, glad he found a car. I said did you check the Shelby registry? Did you do any due dilligence? He said the car had "all the paperwork" I said great, I know who has the Jim Morrison shelby title but that doesn't mean the car exists. A few months later and the guy called me and thanked me for saving him tens of thousands of pounds. The VIN under the shelby Tag was for a 68 coupe.

So thats one. Here is the other (and sadly I have probably a dozen stories.

A good friend of mine got a 69 or 70 Aqua Shelby convertible in for sale. Man I was smitten!!!! stunning, breathtakingly awesome car. Gulfstream aqua from memory, superb shape.I was talking to my dad about buying it, My good friend didn't like the VIN area very much, So he started sanding, Low and behold the VIN was welded in. Turns out the car was a reshell after the car got hit in front of the owners house. The car was sold, A letter stating the car was a reshell was signed by the new owner to protect the reputation of my friend. I wonder if that car is still being touted as a reshell
