The car series # in the VIN and in the body plate are diferent. I own a Chevy Malibu 1966, Sport Coupe, 6 cylinders, 230 Cu Inches. VIN: 135176B180901 Body Plate: 66 13617BAL19270 Is this possible that the series number to be different???? I mean, in the VIN, the series number is 80900 (the result of 180901 minus 100001) and in the body plate is: 19270. Would you explain this to me please?

Everything is more than likely correct. posted:  July 24, 2012   61pontiac      I feel the vin, and body plate numbers should match. This, is how the police identify stolen part's. The chop shop would part a stolen car out. But the body parts would have the same vin #'s as the vin plate. All numbers should be the same, on every body part. Its the Law. posted:  July 24, 2012
