Without getting too "Forensic Files" on anyone here, I just looked at the picture the previous owner posted of the VIN before he repainted it. It looks to me if you zoom in that there are some scratch marks on the dash around the tag that suggest it may have been pried off at some point. FML SO, while it may be, I can't say I'm wholly optimistic about the prospect of this being the original VIN of the car. I know the original color matches what's on the trim tag because when I pulled the seats and rear speaker deck, the original UU1 blue was obvious. Anyone know if there's a way for some entity like the Chrysler Historical Society etc. to look up cars from the build date of 8/11 and see if there were any UU1 Bees or even Coronets built at the LA plant that match the options on my trim tag? UU1 is a pretty uncommon color....perhaps if I could get listings of VIN#'s in that color from that date, I could get a better idea of the car's history.
