    What year?

    I don't really know what I am doing but that VIN structure does not look right to me. Where did you get the number (ie, off the door pillar, etc)? Could the last "B" be an "8"?

    I know it doesn't look right to me either but this is what I got from a freind looking at a car for sale.. He says its a 1970 GTO convertible clone.. Not sure, thats why I posted.. Thankyou Randy

    A model year Pontiac VIN has 13 digits, starting with 2 for Pontiac.
    If it's a clone, they have used a Tempest, (the 1970 LeMans Sport convertible had a production of only 4670 cars, so I'm sure they will never use this model to build a clone) so the VIN should read:

    2 33 67 0 * ****** for a Tempest convertible.

    Or, coming from the other way, a real 70 GTO convert would be:

    2 42 67 0 P 1xxxx1

    I think you can see why we were confused by the make up of the number you gave.


    ...one never knows....:Dou:

    My comment was more an editorial on the "criminal mind"...

    (like the guys that try to steal an Automated Teller Machine by chaining it to the bumper - only to leave the bumper and license plate behind)

    I hope you did not take offense -

    My lord, it's just a Pontiac. Zillions of them out there. Now if it was an Oldsmobile........................:Brow: :Brow: :Brow:

    At least with Fords you can figure out what they were. On the odd Oldses the plates mostly rusted away. Have to give you credit, Dave, for highjacking a discussion on a serial number.:Do No:
