So Curt, you may be saying that this car does not match what a car with tha=
t chassis number should look like.=C2=A0 Don't BJ8s have the chassis number=
 stamped on the right front shock mount?=C2=A0 So it may be titled with the=
 wrong chassis number.=C2=A0 That is a greater concern to me than being the=
 wrong color or having poorly fitting seat covers.=C2=A0 The poorly stamped=
 chassis number plate could be part of the issue also.
=20
When I saw it on the screen when it came up for auction, I thought that it =
probably isn't really a '65 due to the double parking/ts lights.=C2=A0 Then=
 I figured it was just an error on the year they put on the title.=C2=A0 Bu=
t this is much more serious an issue since the chassis number does not indi=
cate it is a Phase 2 BJ8, when it definitely looks like one.

Steve, I'm glad you have it in the registry.
 Someone told me on Saturday at the Hershey car show that it was restored t=
here, but I didn't know for sure, so didn't want to credit/blame them.
 It appears that leather seat covers were installed, but not very well as s=
omeone else mentioned.

ve,
                  I'm glad you have it in the registry.<br>
                  Someone told me on Saturday at the Hershey car show
                  that it was restored there, but I didn't know for
                  sure, so didn't want to credit/blame them.<br>
                  It appears that leather seat covers were installed,
                  but not very well as someone else mentioned.<br>
