<span style="font-style: italic">&quot;...He also claims the VIN number has all of the numbers in a clean even row and then the final number in the VIN is a &quot;1&quot; which is slightly lower and spaced further out than the rest of the numbers, which he claims is GM's way of designating a one-off build...&quot;</span>

Is he talking the Vin tag here or original block and trans stampings?

His claim of,&quot;EVERY date code on the car is the exact same day in 1969,which he claims means that is was hand assembled from parts pulled especially for the day it was built&quot;,seems not only ridiculous to me,but literally impossible.
All the window glass dates,engine &amp; electrical components,fuses,seatbelts,hoses,belts,headlights, the frame assembled stamping,sheet metal body panels,dashboard components,carpeting &amp; jute,assembled seats,keylocks,shock absorbers,relays,brake lines,fuel lines,transmisson &amp; rearend internals &amp; anything else I forgot,were all made &amp; assembled the exact same day and then shipped within minutes if not seconds to be put on this particular car?
Does he have any idea of the scope of what he's saying,especially since so many assembly line parts had different manufacturers &amp; batch date periods?....that in itself was impossible,unless they had help from the Mayans.

I believe he was referring to the VIN plate on the top of the dash.

Rick,

It is pretty obvious that going after the guy on the assembly claims he is making would be about as thrilling as clubbing a baby seal on the beach .

if it was stripe delete, it needs paperwork to prove or have - or -- paint code.

Yes, stripe delete would require a - - paint code.

He better take that $125k.

Has anyone asked him if the previous owner can still be reached? I'm sure there would be a host of questions for him!
