That VIN was final-assembled on or about March 28, 1969. The body tag has an 01A date.

One or both tags may not be original to the car.

Learning more and more about less and less...

Kind of odd. Neither tag makes the car anything special to risk the problems.

Could be a decades-old rebody. Consignor may not know.

At least they stayed consistent..... Van Nuys plant. Wonder if anybody ever mixed them up?

I can remember at least one car that had a VIN plate from one plant and a cowl tag from the other. Can't recall if the hidden partials aligned with either, but it was definitely a 'Frankenmaro'.
