@flx I agree yes… if it were a 75’ as he was thinking it was … I was getting ahead of my thoughts
Any way it’s just wrong … doesn’t even say LV as a 74’ would … a good argument in why people should not be able to stamp their own vin plates
This is a mash of parts
You will most likely never really know how it came to be like this … the vin plate has been replaced … that would have told us the rear opening configuration … it has been stamped incorrectly
Nobody ever split the engine number with a - hyphen… not any South American...
