[DeTomaso] VIN Plate Double-stamp

[Mike Drew]

Rob,

You aren't clear, but I suspect you are talking about the dashboard VIN repeater tag and not the VIN stamp on the body, right?

I have seen several goofs on the repeater tag, including failing to switch over to the next month, and failing to switch over to the next year. It wouldn't surprise me if (for example) when Guido the tag stamper got to 3999, the next tag he stamped was 3000 instead of 4000. Is that the kind of goof you are talking about?
