CPotD #37 (Uh-Oh, Legal Issues Ahead)


Today’s CPotD is my photo of PartsCar’s VIN superimposed over her lower front fender. It’s also a picture of an anomaly. Read on.

I had quite the surprising revelation last night when I took a look at PartsCar’s VIN. A visit to the Corvair VIN decoding website told me:

Your car is a 1968 500 2-door coupe.It was the 3808th Corvair built at Willow Run that year.

This cannot be since PartsCar is a 1967 model. She’s got a ’67 interior (for the most part) and she does not have the side marker lights mandated starting in 1968 – hence the photo of the lower front fender. Getting a title for car with an illegal VIN will be problematic, to say the least. Back to Plan A?
