You might believe that, heck you might be right.

You won't get matching numbers money for it though and in the end that is all matching numbers is about.


I cut apart a 1968 Dart GT and the core support had no numbers on it whatsoever. It was 100% original and I knew the owner from day one. If you believe every Mopar came from the factory with the proper numbers stamped on them then I have a chunk of nice dry land in Florida I will sell you. wink I am sure you have seen the factory VIN issues that are out there. A buddy had a 71 "V" code Roadrunner where the "V" was missing in the VIN, only 12 numbers instead of the requisite 13...



About a third to half of the superbirds have no core support stamp. I have seen several 1971 cudas with no cowl stamp, known original undamaged cars, but I have never seen a 71 cuda without the core support stamp. Mistakes did happen. I see no problem here, I know a lot of people do not like Mark, but I see no funny business from him here.
