8 or B for 1968

Definitely not an original VIN tag -

The cowl hidden VIN can usually be seen without having to take anything apart - I would start there....

I found the partial VIN just under the air intake - wipers. Yep it is an 8 and the rest of the numbers match.Just have to take a squiz under that dodgy tag to see what the go is..

Good that the partial matches. As stated in my PM, I think the original VIN plate may have been damaged, either by impact or rust, and a previous owner made a new one; they may have mistaken the '8' for a 'B'. Pure speculation, but most deliberate attempts to defraud usually involve the VIN from another car, or a fake (reproduction) tag that would not swap a letter with a number.

That is good news.
