Hello! I've had my 240 for 6 months now and am just now getting around to posting. First, the car. A '71 Series I that was originally silver and is now blue. All it needed was an alternator and rear shocks.(no, I didn't pull the pins. I don't wanna pull the pins.) It's been reliable ever since. It has dealer AC that I've not bothered to put a belt on; its got the fried parking light circuit fuse which has been temporarily fixed (yes, it's fused and even relayed, but there's still a toggle dangling out the side of the console); and it doesn't idle. The choke must be used to manually control the idle. This doesn't cause any issues. Drives great, to me at least; I don't know any better. The pics. So, the VIN oddity. The B-pillar plate, the firewall stamping and this Texas VIN reassignment plate all read 16512. The dash VIN reads 134962. More pics. So the dash VIN is from a Series IV car. What's up with that? The Texas plate thing is from it being stolen and recovered in Texas in the 70's. Maybe the thieves changed the dash VIN and didn't bother with the others? Anyway, when we went to get it titled, the gal at the courthouse titled it with the VIN she saw through the windshield and did no further inspection. It bugs me a bit, but I wasn't about to bring up this kind of discrepancy and have the Z impounded or something crazy they might do. Also, of all things, it's numbers matching. (besides that VIN of course ) Thanks! -
