Nope, trans does not match the vin. Oh well. Not surprised, the tranny probably came with the 440 that was in it. I'll see if those two at least match when I get it back from the machine shop. So I guess there is no way of telling if this is the vin for this car at this point?
Here's the number I found under the trunk channel. Does this look like the right number? (the one I am looking for). This does not match the fender tag.
