VIN was final assembled on or about October 16, 1968. Car has an 04C X77 body tag; 3rd week of April, 1969.

One or both tags are not original to the car, hidden VINs may not match.

Ugh-another disaster.  Thanks, William, for doing what you do.

It's back.

VIN was final assembled on or about October 16, 1968. Body tag is 04C, third week April 1969. Has a re-stamped June 18 DZ block, 010 casting. Despite not existing in 1968, stamped with the reported VIN.

Has a 1968 model year rear axle, U-bolts retaining the driveshaft trunnions.

Thank you William. Being the gatekeeper is a thankless job. But thank you!

At least they made it easy listing the VIN and the trim tag date in the ad. Seems like a large operation like that would red flag something that shows one of the tags does not go with the car.

I did see it. It was in the center display area right behind the girl taking names at the entrance.

I've probably got some photos of it on my go pro.
