nice car, but someone put a 72 front clip on a 73 body, and swapped vin tags!

It is possible he put a 73 tail panel on a 72.

Look at the interior photo. Top of the door panel is plastic, not metal like a 72.

I hate seeing clean cars with fenderwell headers. Beautiful car, otherwise.

 

[Bulldozer]

seems to be something wrong there with the VIN number

 

[chryslerfat]

Ok so it was a fast restoration by jacking the VIN up and rolling another car under it.

I hate people who ***** about beautiful cars with fenderwell headers.

 

[daredevil]

I prefer the vintage look myself. Way cool from the side if you ask me but them again I get grief for traction bars also. I guess the cookie cutter crowd to me would be the Mopar "It`s not a correct numbers car" lol

 

[George R]

Traction bars and fenderwell headers are COOL!

Look closer at its interior , in particular the steering wheel and , more so , its speedometre ...

... those are Chrysler de Mexico parts ! KpH speedo and '72-'74 E Body steering wheel = parts from a Mexico-built , Mexican-market A-Body .

As far as its v.i.n. is concerned ... yeah , no dice . Mexico-built cars had different v.i.n.'s .

I thought the 2 in vin mean't 72? I questioned the guy on ebay said he wasn't a mopar guy. Said he bought it off ebay in May and was told it was a 72 and has a title with this vin. Sounds like someone got him or he is playing dumb.

the 2 is 72. i believe the car to be a 73 , i would love to see the fender tag, but i really doubt there is one.

KpH speedo could also be Canada, eh?

That's a possibility . I'm basing my finding upon evidence found in the ad ; the "858" area code being the first clue (858 is a San Diego County area code) , and the obvious close proximity to the Mexico border .

Did Canadian-market cars of this vintage have KpH speedometres ?

Went metric in September of 1977.

Man you're really thinned skinned :blackeye:

 

[Bulldozer]

after the DMV discovers the VIN tag has been switched, it just may get parted or crushed
