My last question to seller (repeat from last post):
Thank you for the clarification. If I understand correctly, the front clip is from a 72, not a 73, and the clipped portion also includes the stamped VIN by the smuggler's box and the aluminum plate. Is that correct?
From the pictures in the link, I assume the sticker on the door jamb is gone, but what about the VIN plate on the A pillar?
Latest reply:
Yes you do understand it correctly & the number on the pillar matches one up front (but was removed & reinstalled when the headliner was installed.)
Okay, my understanding of this situation is that unless the 72 clip included the A pillar (of which there is no evidence), the VIN tag was removed from the 72 and attached to the A pillar of the 86 thus making all current VIN's match. I would call this a case of VIN tampering and stay clear of this car, let alone consider paying $85K for it.
