[DeTomaso] conflicting VINs

Bob,

The car is in the Registry (under LY) which is 6/71.  The Detail & Photo
page includes a shot of the door VIN but not the dash VIN (too bad).
(Perhaps they can send it to me...)

The next car in the Registry is (LS) 1788, a 7/71.

So I would suspect the car (1784) was on the assembly line during the end of
the month / month change over.  I have heard of this before, but it is rare.


I would suggest they peal back the carpet/felt in the front trunk on top of
the foot box, which is the stamped into steel number.  (I'd bet it is the
earlier month LY code.)  The foot box VIN is not visible in the Registry
photos.

If they have questions, they can call me.  I doubt the DMV would take my
word for it, but I am willing to help.

To Chuck and whom ever else may be of help:
 
I just got a phone call from a dealer in St. Louis who recently sold a car  
that came from Palm Springs CA.
 
The problem is that they are having trouble titling it because the VIN on  
the dash THPNLY01784 is not the same as the one on the door plate
THPNLS01784.  
Anyone have an explanation for this other than the car  was restored with a 
replica plate with the wrong letter on it.   However it was evidently 
registered with the builder plate number.
