First of all put the crack pipe down.

Then pull your head out of your ass.

No president, no matter what political party will change anything that is the fault of local government. Too many idiots blame a president for acts of congress, or state senates. People that do, have no understanding of how to fix a problem, and who needs not to be in office.

I don't discuss my politics on-line (rarely in person). If I want a political debate I can have one in my shop at any time with people more intelligent then you. Charles

That's it!

Tell the bitch Charles!

LOL

understanding

It seems to me that the VIN plate on the car is a factory mistake, with one number off, although PHS guy Jim Mattison says he has never seen such a mistake. I just bought the PHS info package on the convertible version of the coupe VIN plate found on the convertible in my garage (one digit off). There was no coupe made with that serial number (last 6 digits of the VIN) that year at that plant, according to PHS. Everything in the PHS packet for the convertible matches what's left in the car, and matches the body tag, which seems to be correct. (I can't conclude much based on the engine and trans info since I bought the car without these.) The original paint, Mayfair Maize, listed on the convertible billing history, is still in the nooks and crannies where the painter didn't reach when the car was repainted red at some point. So I believe I can make a case that the VIN plate is a mispunched item, if the state asks me when I go to get it registered.

Thanks for all the help, guys.

That gives some credence to the story.

Does the Fisher body job #s on the sheets you got from PHS match the cowl tag? Does the cowl tag state the vehicle is a convertible or hardtop?

You can easily prove it's a mistake if you have documents that cross-check each other. That is one reason why this is done.

I don't know where to look for a Fisher body job # on either the PHS sheets or the cowl tag. What I got from PHS is a 1967 Car Billing History.

The cowl tag on the car is for a convertible.

The 1967 PHS documents are a little strange and primitive, but do ANY numbers on either sets of documents match anything on the cowl tag?

The Fisher body job # is usually on the RH side of the cowl tag after the plant code and data stating the Fisher basic model.

Take the windshweild wipers off and remove the metal cover. The VIN should be stamped on the body
