I guess I should check in more often. I have no "story" for why the numbers are as they are. Did somebody miss enter a digit during data entry? Were these things proof read for accuracy ? I don't know. Who knows how this stuff happens, but there has to be some basic human error involved and a reasonable explanation. It's not like these cars haven't seen their fair share of mistakes during production. This car came from the second owner who has owned it since 1970 and he raced it nearly to the grave with zero interest in numbers. The car came out of 25+ years of storage in a farm machine shed under an inch of dust. Do I think it's been screwed with ? No, I don't. Can I explain it ? No I can't. The tag is GM issue and has never been off the car, hell - there is still dum dum in the one rivet. I'm amazed it wasn't shaken out after looking at how bad this body is stressed. Repro ? Jeez, you'd think a little more care would be taken when getting a repro made. Instead of just declaring it fake because it's not normal, how about we try and figure out how a mistake like this could have happened and maybe advance the understanding of this hobby ? I'm not an idiot, and I know you see "Novice" and only a few posts by my name, please look me up I'm member #77, I'm not a newbie, I'm a charter member and I'm hardly naïve enough to try and pass this through this shark tank, especially over this hulk. Had I noticed the body number issue, I sure as hell wouldn't have advertised it here. All I can say is that there has to be a reasonable and logical explanation, so lets put our experience to use and find it. I have no reason to believe it's not legit, but some sort of mistake. This is a $5,000.00 hulk, not a JL-8 car headed to B.J. It's hardly a car worth faking.
