My 71 has the cowl and core number but they are one number off, car is 1G223XXX and the body is 1G123XXX both the same, car is what it claims to be. It's an N code car so would have been no need to go to the trouble of faking. I now factory errors occurred and have heard they generally would be the same number throughout once the gun/punch was set. Is there a number on the trunk rail like earlier B bodies (I didn't look yet) or is it somewhere else?

Thanks, Kevin

My guess is it's a factory "mess-up"........ Or you drunk one too many beers.........

No trunk rail number for the '71 B bodies.

The factory errors are common. If a roller dial slipped one digit the 2 became a 1 or a 3.

Tag and sheet are correct to the dash VIN so I'm comfortable that is correct and I figured the factory error possibilty as well, I was just wanting to double check the rear number to see what it read. So no number on the rear of the car?

Thanks folks
