Hate to say, it's a swapped tag. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
Real close to fitting either build date (68 or 69), but it really only fits 9/68, VIN is 9/69. Does the original color match the trim tag?

Noone in the plant ever looked at the trim tag after Fisher Body was done with the car. Fisher was pretty consistent, and even their errors were normally consistent.
And in general, strange things did not happen on the production line. It was a standard process, had to be, they built 243,085 in 69. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
