I have no idea what that is! Probably a 79 convertible conversion. Probably used a 68's vin on the 79's birdcage. Possibly a merging of two cars due to wreck or fire. Or it could be the work of some kind of chop shop and was stolen and re-vin'ed. I'd stay well away from that POS.

That's plain messed up........and weird:

"THIS VEHICLE WAS POSSIBLY MANUFACTURED AT A GENERAL MOTORS PLANT OUTSIDE THE U.S.A."

......I can 100% assure you that it wasn't "made" in New Zealand......... :)

looks like they may have put 68 vin tag on that thing. 81/82 may not have had a title, or title may have been a salvage...almost impossible to sell a car with salvage title, therefore, they may have gotten a junk 68 just for the vin tag and clear title, and voila.....claim the car is a custom.

THIS VEHICLE IS UNIQUE IN THAT THE V.I.N. ON THE PILLAR FRAME IS 194678S402773 WHICH MATCHES THE SOUTH CAROLINA TITLE

Just as it should.


AND IS REGISTERED AS A 1968 YEAR MODEL.

Something wrong here. Maybe the birdcage was replaced as someone said. It is in sad disrepair.
