Hello!

Can anyone explain the JS25 VIN on this 1970 Challenger R/T? I am confused and I do not know what to say. :? There are no such cars made as far as I know.

The tag shows a '3', but he did mistype the tag text.

Yes it is quite clearly JS23 on the photo of the tag.

Hmmmm, is it something wrong with my glasses, my computer sceen or the resolution I am working in? :? :D

Yes, you are right. It should be JS23 and not JS25.I have even got that confirmed by the seller so now the answer is bullet-proof. :s016: :s017: Thanks for the help!

Well if it is a computer less than two years old then maybe you had better book an eye test. :mrgreen:

Some 3s have flat tops like 5s depending on the font used.

Yeh that makes sense, when you look at them closely the difference is down to just one tiny Mark deviating from upright to diagonal.
I get caught out by crap like that all the time, the harder you stare the less easy it is to figure it out :oops:
