The VIN on it was swapped "from a 1964 Impala" and the 29 year owner didn't know that? Doubtful

His wife bought it from a Dealership - it was probably registered as a 1964 2-door chevrolet

In the 70's I registered a 69 Camaro that had a small block from a 62 Impala. I gave the DMV receipts for repairs done and the title from both cars. It was a way to keep from having to pay back-fees and penalties on a car that sat more than a couple years.

When I received the new title it was registered as a 1962 CHEVY CAMARO

I had them fix it, but it was pretty funny.

There's still a few of us old farts around that know "1847" on the VIN comes back to an Impala 2 door.

Shame someone didn't catch that when they bought the car back in '87.

Hi, its Flo. Think you're already sick of me? Check this out.

Remember when we paid out your stolen vehicle claim back in '87? Yeah, about that. We own the car and by law need to process it as salvage.

Nice find, tho.
