VIN tag has non-original rivets indicating it may or may not be original to the car.

VIN indicates a late March Van Nuys build; body tag is from an early February Norwood car.

One or both tags are not original to the car.

Call us today and let VMS park your dream in your drive way!

I actually emailed the seller and he responded that he was unaware of the issue and
that he was going to do some "research" on it.

Hope they 'research' the hidden VINs...

He's a dealer. His "research" will be to ignore it.
