There was a process that existed at least as late as 1968, where a stolen car could indeed receive a re issued VIN with the same number from the original manufacturer. I owned for years a 1965 Fuel injected convertible stolen in 1968, with tons of paperwork and a re issued GM VIN plate with the same original VIN. Are you saying your car has the original VIN with a re issued plate or the same VIN with a preproduction plate or a different VIN with a preproduction plate?
