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...


My '71 'Cuda was triple stamped with the same (correct) number on the core support. Guy running the stamper must've been bored that day. The rest of the car was a mess as far as spot welds being missed, done improperly, etc.
