When I went to look at the part car I bought, the guy had told me over the phone that the car was a 69 but when I got there, it turned out to be a 68 body style titled as a 69. (I was disappointed but bought the car any way as it was a great deal.) 

>From what I have read, been told, etc, it was not uncommon to see this. 68s sold as 69, 69 sold as 70. 

I am far from an expert, but this is my half cent worth. 

Too poor to have two cents worth of opinion...

The former owner took the body off the frame and the numbers matched. So does that make it a '69 or '70? Or do I have a rare '70 with '69 trim? Anyone else with VIN's that don't match the side markers?
