I believe there have been a few examples of two cars possibly having the same partial vin stamped on the engine and or trans. Worker just forgot to swap out the last digit stamp before stamping the next one.
I am guessing there were some real serious controls in place to prevent two cars from receiving the same vin.
If there is no chance of two vin plates stamped with this vin on them, then ONE of the two cars (and I am pretty certain we know which one) has not only a fake trim tag, but a faked vin. I would want nothing to do with such a car. You can't call it a rebody, as the vin was fabricated. Even calling it a fake is kind.
