[QUOTE=6880Mike][QUOTE=mfhenderson]...but the "4" after the "S" shouldnt be there.  My catalog for 1970s doesn't allow for there to a "4" in the 7th spot.  Makes me think this is a fabricated VIN number... [/QUOTE]
 
Nope.  The 4 after the plant code (S) is correct and stands for the car line series code and is (technically) part of the consecutive unit number.  All 70s have the 4 in this position; it was 4 for the '68s, a 7 for the '69s; a 1 for the 71s, etc.

Mike is right on (as well as Joel). My '70, as well as all others, have a 4 after the S. The fourth position changes from a 3 to a 6 for verts.
