Ever see or hear of a VIN that's missing the 5th digit for the engine code? I've never heard of this before, but am looking at a car that clearly has the 5th digit missing...the other 12 digits seem correct. Have not seen the FT yet.

Thanks Scott. The FT shows the same thing. The guy said it was a hemi car, then later said he doesn't know what motor it came with. Has a wedge K frame, but it does supposedly have the torque boxes. Don't think there is a build sheet.

I'm waiting to see if I can get a pic of the FT and if he has the BS. I have not seen the car in person yet. It just so happens that this is also a '71 Charger. Supposed to be an R/T, plum crazy, 727 auto w/ console, 8.75 rear. VIN is WS231A

About 20 years ago in upstate NY, I looked at a 70 Road Runner for sale and it was missing its U in the vin. Cant say for sure but I think the U was on the door jam and on the fender tag. I kept going back to the VIN but the 12 numbers sort of turned me off about the car. Of course I never carried a camera back then but the car looked untouched. I likely have the number written down somewhere. My understanding is the U (440 4bbl) was not an option for the 70RR but was available as the standard engine for the Superbird.

That would be correct,same for the Super Bee.

Let me clearify. MISTAKES happened, but I've never heard of an intentional deletion of the engine code. Finding a mistake on the VIN tag AND the fender tag would raise a big red flag concerning one or both of them being fakes....02 Yep....I can see one or the other but not both... Dave
