Re: hidden vin numbers

[Robert neal zimmerman <northwestweirdo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes I just read that on the Ehrenberg article on this issue. Guess what,
the two dont match. The SO number on the fender info tag is totally
different than the one on the radiator support. IF this was ever figured
out, can Govier nake me a new VIN tag? Why I am making a big deal is the
car is from a different state, and Oregon will want to inspect the car.
