Explain this
I just checked my frame serial number after pulling the body off. The number stamped on the frame is different from the body and engine. The last 8 of the body and engine are 9S732148 and the numbers on the frame are 9S732147. Anyone ever seen this before? Someone out there has my chassis. Mine is a 350/350 car but I thought it was odd that I had a 3.08 gear.

a few years ago I met a guy who had worked at the vette assembly plant in the early 70's. He told me that sometimes guys would just mess around with the #'s because they were bored also he said that some VIN tags were totally mixed up and the guys just attached whatever they grabbed. He used an example of a 72 bb coupe having an id of a 72 base vert.

with all of the above! Sounds to me like you are just fine and what's better, you have a really neat story to tell people about your Vette. If the numbers were a couple hundred off than maybe you'd have a problem.Congratulations on your great example of St. Louis Assembly Plant production history!
STW!

Gotta go check out my car, I'm hoping the plant ran out of L81's and they stuck in a surplus ZL1
