[quote He had somebody else's build sheet in his car.

One thing pops into my mind on that subject. Way back in the '70's when I was a used car dealer and a car came in with a split or raged out seats we would go to the local boneyard and get a nice set out of a wreck to make the car sell better. So that could be one way that could explain the different build sheet especially if the date is way off from the car in question. This was a std practice in the used car business and is still done I am sure.

It is also very common to have a build sheet in one car from another car that was on the assembly line around the same time. There are members here who have sent me LS-6 build sheets as well as up to Three sheets from the same number of other cars on the line that they found in their car with their sheet so it is not that rare.

Very Common with GM as well as Mopars. But did quite a few interior swaps as Pantera suggests as well.

My Deuce had Build sheets in it from cars that were built the same day. One was even an L34 BB Nova! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/cool.gif

Rick,

-------Red Alerts build sheet was for a convertable 5 serial numbers away from Reds. The build sheet was in the bottom of the drivers seat. What we have always thought was that the seat assembly was somehow damaged before it reached the car on the assembly line but after the build sheet had been added. The guy at the factory picked up the next black bucket and used it. Numbers and sheets were probably off on several cars that day until they brought another black bucket in to the assembly process to replace the bad one. Does that make any sense? It was the best we have ever been able to come up with........Bill S
