The mysterious "wrong Runner“

[Daniel Brunner]

Hi FBBO
Today on a car show I discovered a very suspicious ride

19xx body
1969 grille and taillights
1968 side markers
Non matching Vin tag

It can be the cleanest 4 to 2-door conversion I‘ve ever seen or the worst choice of a „replacement“ vin tag

Sadly I didn’t met the owner he was gone too fast

Still a nice ride but for us B-Body folks I think we all want to know how this car was born

You can't be serious. Or should I say, he can't be serious. THAT VIN plate was on the dash of THAT car ?

 

[Daniel Brunner]

I‘m DEAD serious

Hmmm... I just noticed your location. I got an inkling of what went down on that car. Is the owner of that car in the market for a bridge I can sell him ?

Most people would be fooled because they are not looking at the vin.

Cheap POP rivets.

VIN: RL41COA218118

COA stands for "Certificate Of Authenticity"

VIN: RL41COA218118

COA stands for "Certificate Of Authenticity"

I thought it was "Cash On Arrival"

It's not even a factory tag...

It would be great to see the fender tag and/or broadcast sheet.

If you were going to have a bogus tag made for your car, why do it so totally wrong: RL instead of RM for RoadRunner, 41 = 4-door, 0 = 1970 instead of 1969. I think the great philosopher, Bugs Bunny said it best, when he said, "Whadda Maroon!".

All depends what transferable registration/ title you have on hand...

1970 VIN tag.

2024 VIN tag more likely.

At least be creative

It stands for Cops on ***,because that tag will get the Cops on his *** in no time flat!

It's an ultra rare one of one every high dollar Mopar collector will have to have in his collection!

I guess a bridge which leads overseas will not end good for the owner

Like @chargervert said, the COA part on the VIN would become reality
