Default Re: Needing reassurance on purchase

When I read this from Rick H. last night I was relieved, but then he posts later that the partial vin on the stamp pad is missing numbers. Leading me (and everyone) to believe that it a re-stamp or worse. I don't want to sound like I,m sniveling but what are the chances that the car is num. matching legit. Or should I just resign myself to enjoying the car as it is and take my lumps. I know the trim tag is o.k. but more (or as as much) is #'s matching drive train.

Crappy feeling not knowing if its a restamp but I would still be enjoying it...you should PM Rick or one of the others and get more info to hunt for from them.

I looked in FAQ and I don't think my browser is compatible. I tried to cut/paste from my own files, but that didn't work. Maybe I could e-mail the pic to someone and they could post it for me.
