Default 68 Convertible Vin Number

My VIN Number is 194678S402967 by the windshield and on the title. Looking in my Black Book all vin numbers start with 1943..... not 1946 ! What's up with that ?????

Check your Black Book. At the top, one line spells out the 19437…. Data.
The next line begins with a dot. Read that line. It will help.

Looking at the Registry, your car should have been built around (October 26, 1967)
Your trim tag should have C26 (or very close to this)
