I own a 1967 Convertible that has a strange quirk. The title to the car (the last three titles to the car, including the original, used the warranty/serial number for the VIN. Strangely, the number/letter combo 7T11A111111 is stamped on the visible drivers side apron (stamped twice there, in fact) and the same combination is stamped in the "hidden" area under the passenger fender. The car is all original, and virtually rust-free. The front clip has most definitely not been replaced at any time in its life. The door data plate is original, intact and reads 7T03C1*****. The buck tag is fully intact and readable, with the stamp matching the door data plate. The detail from the data plate, the buck tag and the Marti report all match the car exactly. I know all about the possibility of human error with using the stamp machine at the time of the build. I know sometimes a letter or a number got goofed up. But the entire VIN? I have searched all over the internet for someone who has seen car with this quirk. I know mine isn't the only one. A search turns up one posting from 2004 that identified the same identical stamp on 67 coupe, but nothing came of the thread. One thing that I am certain of is that don't have a 67 four door falcon with a premium fuel 289 disguised as a convertible Mustang. I am also certain the car was not stolen or altered. One curious thing that we discovered about the car with the teardown was that blue paint (maybe brittany blue, maybe columbine blue) was sprayed on the car and hen for some reason it was stopped or repainted summertime yellow. We also found traces of the blue also underneath the factory yellow paint. Its a C-code all original car, p/s, a/c car with the limited slip 3.00 rear.
Any theories?
