I thought carfax didn't track VIN numbers before 1981?
Edit: That VIN is from something newer, also you can see a seat and carpet in the pic with the VIN. The parts car just has a tire and a gas tank in the interior. I'm assuming he put the wrong pic in there. |

Considering the seller is a European car dismantler, I'd also guess he inserted the wrong pic. Nonetheless, why don't you ask him instead of us fellow speculation-monkeys?
