"Matching numbers" means that all the numbers on the various major
components on the car match the corresponding numbers on the build sheet--correct
engine, rear axle, transmission, etc. etc. They won't all be the *same*
number. If you look at your title or registration, you'll normally find a
VIN and an engine number, for instance. (Some states don't bother listing
the engine number). Those numbers are always very different.
