My 1970 with a california re-assigned ID number is ready to go back on the road after nearly 5 years of restoration. When I bought the car it had a California re-assigned ID number because of a falsified VIN. About 10 years ago there was an investigation by a Fresno police officer that used a Fry's method of recovering the real VIN. His investigation was almost successful, he identified and recovered NINE out of TEN digits. So the car is one of 10 possible.
If the group can help by supplying any of the missing known numbers that would greatly enhance the chance of restoring the true ID number of my vechicle by process of elimination> This is the partial number: 4702905_48. Anybody that has that third digit could respond. If I get lucky, REALLY lucky, I'll have 9 responses. Any help is appreciated. |

Reunited and it feels so good !!
(It feels like 1970) The (California) CHP Auto Theft and Recovery Division has recovered my original Headlight bucket tags and A-pillar tags from a 1973 914 in Bakersfield where my 1970 car was located 20 years ago. The other owner had my 1970 tags on his 1973, but his shock tower chassis VIN number had not been touched or altered. The investigating officer discovered the discrepancy between chassis VIN and aluminum VIN tags and removed the tags and returned to me yesterday.  CHP had him re-register his vehicle as a 1973 with his true VIN # (47329255936). His car had been registered with my VIN for almost 20 years. No criminal charges were filed. Here are my original tags, ready to be affixed to it's true owner. Not sure if I'll ever know the reason why the VIN's were switched, but both car's are no longer orphans and have their true pedigree's restored. |
