Re: Door Tag Decode Help Needed

["John W Rosa" <JohnRosa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The VIN is a '74 Javelin 401/Auto...but base, not AMX.

Well, the door tag checks out, even the trim code. "8" was used for most
of the black and white pattern interiors. Some were checked cloth or
vinyl seats, some black carpet (and other trim -- varied by year an
model) and white seats. 

Apparently the VIN doesn't match a 401 AMX? In that case I tend to agree
with you -- the door (or at least the tag) was changed and the car
re-built to match. What does the VIN say as far as year, model, and
engine size? Of course someone could have changed out the entire dash,
not realizing the VIN changed with it. But I find that a bit unlikely.
