73 vin number problem
I have a 73 with this vin on the title (Indiana) and on the plate under the front left of the window.
1z37z3s40#### (hid last four numbers for security)
When I search it I am told the vin is too short by 3 numbers.
Anyone know what the problem is?
Is this a fake vin plate?
Stolen car?
I have owned the car for 20 years.
