Today was the big day for me and my Texas imported 65 Convertible. I went to the Swedish vehicle inspection station after a winter of several repairs. This is a procedure needed to get a Swedish car title for imported cars.
Things didn't go as I hoped it would. My car VIN# and the plate on the door didn't match the number on the chassi. One number was failing. My VIN# said 85Z. The 5 means convertible. Chassi number said 83Z. The 3 meaning Hard Top. The rest of the number were correct. And the numbers were clear and not messed with.

Question:
Is it common that this kind of misstake happens at the factory?
Or any ideas how this could happen?

Thanks

Mike
