>From my experience with the two 1500's that I have had, it appears that they
inserted the year of the car in the VIN. For example, if the actual vin on
the frame is SPL310 01234, and the car was destined to be a 64 model, then
the vin on the ID plate would read SPL310 01234 when it left the factory.
At the dealership, it hangs around and does not sell until 1965. Then the
vin miraculously becomes either 4-SPL310 01234 or SPL310-4-01234. Either
way, the car that is for sale DOES appear to be a 1964 1500.
If anyone decides to get it and it needs carbs, I have a spare set on the
shelf! ;-)
