That should be an interesting answer.

If it has a swapped interior, could it be wearing a 92 interior, with a 92 VIN, on a later car? The VIN tag is riveted to the dash-pad, isn't it?

That would call into question the odometer reading, as well... but that could go either way, and possibly still be authentic to the body of the car...

but I would then ask, why would they change the interior, and is it legal to use the alternate VIN?

Could this be a flood recovery car, or something? Good looking, but pieced together, and hiding something underneath?
