Of course it was.   It's routine for people who own more than one Pantera, 
to swap a single plate over from car to car.   That doesn't make it legal, 
but it does make it rather common.   In this case, this is two different 
cars, probably both owned by the same owner at one point.

I know of at least one Pantera currently for sale on your website, which 
ventures out onto the street for test drives wearing the license plate of 
another car.   It's really a common practice.

Remember the PCNC member who owned about a dozen cars of all different 
styles, but only two or three had legitimate license plates?   He would 
routinely swap them around, flaunting the law and hoping he didn't get caught.

In this case, you know the VIN of the red car, but the black car is a 
'mystery car'.
