Hello, I'm finally about to make my dream come true : having my own Cobra 427. I'm in Europe, and I've found a very nice Superformance, with a Ford 460 SVO engine. The car itself is in a "as new" condition, but there is one thing that bothers me : the VIN number doesn't correspond to any ot the 4 usual vin type of superformance (SP... / SPO... etc)
On the chassis, where the normal vin is supposed to be engraved,
there is a riveted plate that says :
1965 Ford 2 door Conv
VIN# 5R51W304***
in the doors, the car appear to be
#501 (it has the L501 and R501 numbers).
Am I missing something there ? In europe there is a lot of cars with fake papers, and the title does have the same VIN# 5R51W304***, but the fact that it doesn't correspond to a SPF vin really bothers me.
I've been reading a lot a learning a lot on this forum, I wish the forum in my country was as active as this one.
ps : sorry if my english isn't perfect, I'm french (but my wife is from indiana
)
