Well, the VIN lists do not show that VIN or anything close. They seem to
be pretty sequential, the last six mostly starting with 10, 11, 13, 14.
There are a couple of VINs that start with 0 like this one (073267), but
most of them are 098 or 099 numbers.
The Allpar VIN decoder was no help, what with it being a truck. It came
back 89 Omni with 2.2 LPG motor!
My guess is, front-end whacked 89 Shelby Dakota is reborn on stock 3.9
Dakota frame. They made tons of those trucks, wouldn't surprise me in
the least if that's what happened.
Did you find anything indicating truck CS number? I could always
reference it that way to be sure. And, did you or your friend end up
with any extra Shelby seat cloth? I still need a couple swatches to tie
in the plain gray cloth front seats of my 87 CSX to the 89 CSX back seat
and doorpanels ;)
