Agreed, they stamped the first 2 digits suspiciously different. Way back On another site the DMV would not accept the sale when they inspected it cuz they thought that that was a fraud & the guy went online & downloaded some pics /info & showed it to them that confirmed to them that that was normal. Tho "V8" would make a person skeptical. might be just a coincidence. Is it a V8? Or was it if not original (has a dropped crossmember).
