soooo.... this is my chassis plate; supposed to be a 1969 squareback.
this looks be a type1 plate but it looks original to the car.
Am I reading the vin decoder wrong or am I right to be worried that this plate has been put on my car maliciously?
Thanks for any input...Tim |

Something is very wrong. What's the number on the tunnel under the rear seat?

| Some PO replaced the VIN plate. Since it is titled that way I am not sure you want to change anything. |

Front data plate is from a '69 Beetle. 119= '69 beetle, 369= '69 Squareback.
Houston... we have a problem.

Not sure if you can do it, but you may want to do a search at the DMV on that tunnel number. You could be in for some interesting times.
