Is that the car that was ordered as a SunStorm Yellow SD Formula with a Black vinyl top,Black Interior and the original owner of the car wanted a Black car so he went ahead and had the Dealership paint the car Black ? If so I would like to see Pic's of the car and know more about it and possibly get the current owners name and phone #.....

Wow, that sucks. Would hate to buy a car and find an issue like that AFTER the sale.

I saw that right away! I would be very leary of this car being an original SD car. It would take a serious look over before I would shell out the dough!

Kinda cool though, I must say!

I wonder if the car was built first and then the paperwork was done incorrectly or the paperwork work was done first and the car was built incorrectly. Imagine ordering a Formula 400 4 spd and it shows up as an SD.

So what does the PHS say the car came with? If the PHS states its a regular non sd formula then thats a bummer for the seller.

Where does the engine have an "X"? The VIN on the engine would not contain the "X" from the factory. It would read 24N172XXX. Is the block code below the RH valve cover W8? Does the block have the 132 cast into it? Some better picture would surely help.

So we have:

Same VIN numbers on the dash, engine, door sticker, PHS, except....

1) The dash and engine have an 'X'
2) PHS, door sticker, and Canadian doc have a 'T'

Otherwise, same VIN between the two, only difference being the X and T?

Could someone have doctored the dash VIN, and restamped the block? It looks like the dash plate is original in the above photo, but if someone did this back in the 1980's, it could easily have aged this way in the past 20+ years.

The only other possibility is a true paperwork error, but I can't see how that could happen. Invoices were created for a 455 car, but the factory built it as an SD car? When the dealer receives the invoice for this car, doesn't hat mean a customer basically gets a free SD engine because it was never billed as an SD? What would be on the window sticker?
