<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>So
Curt, you may be saying that this car does not match what a car with that
chassis number should look like. Don't BJ8s have the chassis number
stamped on the right front shock mount? So it may be titled with the
wrong chassis number. That is a greater concern to me than being the
wrong color or having poorly fitting seat covers. The poorly stamped
chassis number plate could be part of the issue also.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p><font size=3 color=black face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>When
I saw it on the screen when it came up for auction, I thought that it probably
isn't really a '65 due to the double parking/ts lights. Then I figured it
was just an error on the year they put on the title. But this is much
more serious an issue since the chassis number does not indicate it is a Phase
2 BJ8, when it definitely looks like one.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

that also brings up another issue in that the vast majority of US delivered
