Sorry to disagree with you but the GM tag I have states exactly what I posted! I also ran across an X77 Today at the Swap Meet with an 05B/N613xxx VIN. Must be some rather good seperation times on some of these!

Not disputing what you posted, I'm just telling you either the trim tag or the VIN did not come on that car when it left the factory.
VINs were assigned AFTER the body was scheduled to be built and are more or less sequential by calendar dates. There is no way a N613xxx vin was on an 05B built car when it left the factory. A car with N613xxx Vins is a late February car, and should have a body number in the NOR26xxxx to NOR28xxxx range. An 05B car will have a body number in the 32xxxx or up range Thats a swapped tag. |

OK...I will tend to lean your way on your thinking of this as over the years of looking at these I'd tend to agree with you. However...There are some cars Ive seen years ago disputing this conversation. I didnt take the time to record them all as I didnt see a need then for it. I assume you are speaking for the red car here on eBay that started this post. An X77 Tag I have here in fromt of me states this: HOLD ON! Ah...I see my mistake now. I am posting the trim tag run #. I had it written seperately on a piece of paper...My Mistake! I apologize! So many cars; so many VIN's!! Man I should do a better record of this. Folks I apologize for my misquoting here!!!

So the trim tag on the red car on E-bay is probably correct.

Yes, the tag looks good, and matches up with the VIN, timewise.
