Banshee,
Let me go over this for you how you have asked to have it

Could you please start over in one post.

What does the VIN on cowl read? What does PHS state, what does title state?

The normal spot you find the VIN Number in shows a VIN of 69223379N119494
According to PHS that Number is for a 2 door Coup (IF I can get your E mail I will send you the PHS Report)
I have a partial picture of the title they sent me that clearly shows that same VIN number and also states on the VIN it is a coup[/color]If you want help, in effect,

I am going to need more than little bits and pieces of information.

I am sorry, but from reading this, and being in law enforcement for the past 24 years, something isn't jiving.

I know it is not Jiving that is the reason for this post
The pictures of the car are of a convertible., again give me your e mail and I will send you the pictures as well


So please, explain everything completely in one post. You found a 69 vert, did you buy or not? What does the title read? Date of issue, owner on title same as seller? Did you check the VIN to the title? did you check the VIN to PHS? What is the VIN (actual) that is on car versus VIN on title and PHS? Does the rivets appear to be tampered with? Cowl tag rivets? what does the cowl tag read? Is the block in car? Original? what does that VIN read if seller touts original?

I was about to send a deposit for the car when I found all of this out. I have not yet seen the car as it is out of state. The title picture shows issue in 2005 and again the Title matches the VIN that was given to me and PHS has that number but shows it as a coup. I really had wanted this car as it fit my budget and i backed out of another unit that had a manual roof vs a power roof and it is now gone


Does the cowl section and dash appear to be original? any evidence or repair?

Again have not seen it in person

I deal with this all the time working commercial auto theft.

If you want a solid reasonable answer, you are going to have to do better with the details.

I appreciate the help. They are going to look under the vents for a number this week end. They seem as concerned as I am, I just dont see why no one has missed the fact that the title says coup. My e mail is bmock@pft-alexander.com my cell is 562-884-0788. I tried to highlight my answers in a different color but it would not let me do it.

Thanks
Bernie
