Help... Vin #'s dont match

Ahoy there ssba....I like the cut of your jib :)

To the young man with the questionable old Duster, I offer this advice. Yeah, your car has parts of a few different Dusters in it. So does every other Duster, including the ones owned by the noisy owners here in this thread.

Cover your rear parcel shelf up, put the speakers in, register your car and enjoy it until you sell it. I'd buy it myself, if it was a Demon. There are thousands of cars out there just like yours. Dime a dozen. Over one million Plymouth Dusters were made, no-one cares about your VIN. Hell, the Demon I bought just last month could have two VIN's, but I'll never know unless I tear the interior out. Understand this....of the 300,000 Plymouth Dusters out there (700,000 have been melted down and turned into Toyota's), only about 100 owners would know that Plymouth Dusters have a partial VIN on the rear parcel shelf....and those 100 will never see it, unless you show them.

Do not ever post under this username again. Let the dust settle, join up under a new name, locate yourself in a different town, and introduce yourself to the fine members of FABO as the proud owner of a small block Duster.

All will be well, and you can sleep easy knowing that the VIN Nazis are none the wiser :)
Wow....

I think the OP's overreacting but to tell him to go to those lengths......just wow.


That said, while it wont hurt to have it checked out by the popo, I would run it thru the numerous free online VIN searches, while it is a paritial vin, you can play around and run it numerous times, I think there's about a dozen possible VIN combinations left besides that partial.

I'd be curious to see if the front number matches the rear, if not, then yeah, its more than likely a rebody, if it matches the dash vin, then it was probably repaired at one point.
