I'm just thinking out loud here, but what does the title say ? And do the vin #'s match ?

You never know what's REALLY been done to a car before you buy it, body panels swapped, motor/tranny's/rearend swapped, etc,etc. But a title with a matching vin is the most important.

Good luck

simple solution......no need for a thread on something that should be an obvious answer to your question = look at 10th digit of the vin = year designation = common knowledge
