Oh man. Hate to hear that. Thanks for the info, though. That helps knowing that the chrome strip didn't come in until mid-68. I have a confession to make also. I've owned a 280zx, a 300zx and a 350 6-speed. Sure did like them, especially the 350. Sold it when we moved to the country and had...

Will do next chance we get. We have really been getting a lot of rain this Spring and it seems to fall every weekend. Not complaining because our 100+ degree days will soon be upon us.

As soon as it quits raining every weekend down in East Texas, we'll pull the car out and try to locate engine, tranny and whatever other numbers might tell the story on the car. At that point, I'll contact the Texas DMV Officer to see if they will issue a Texas VIN Plate. Promise to keep you...

Done!

At this point, that sounds like a good plan to me!

I have not been able to get through to a real person anyway so may just leave this mystery buried.:angel12:

Good point. Will just call it a whiskey runner. Have a great weekend!

Love shopping on Ebay but given I have a Franken Runner, I wouldn't even know how to re-create the fender tag. Next step is to visit with the Texas DMV patrol man to see if he can put another patch on it.:banghead:

Franken Runner actually does have a nice ring to it :finga:

Aye, aye, aye. What a mess. Knowing my luck this car belonged to some Deliverance style whiskey runner dude who is still looking for it to this day. Sure wish I had the pull to get inside the DMV records to see what really did go on. I guess I'll never know.

You are correct. The State issued VIN # is all jacked up. Dave with mmcdetroit confirmed that there were no B bodies manufactured in Ontario in 1968. I have yet to be able to get anyone on the line with the CA DMV department. I'm getting a bit discouraged. Again, will keep digging and let...

That's so true. I really do not believe too many people at the DMV know anything about the old classics. Hoping to get lucky and actually find someone who does. Again, I'll keep you all posted of any new developments.

Very likely. So hoping to get it straightened out one way or the other. Will keep you all posted with any new developments. Thanks to all for your useful tips and advice.

Hmmmm, I'll double check on that. Looks like the mystery remains. Thanks.

Correct, assuming it was manufactured in St. Louis. According to the VIN I have, it was manufactured in Ontario. F = Windsor Ontario
