1974 Dodge Monaco first look, and cutting new keys. VIN mismatches with fender tag!

After towing the car home, this is the first chance I got to inspect the car and get new keys cut.
Interestingly, the VIN mismatches with the fender tag, and sadly block doesn't match nor did I find a build sheet.
Spent about 2 weeks off and on getting the locks out, and paying for a locksmith, without thinking of looking in the ashtray! :)

Been waiting on a Monaco update. You sure went through some hoops to get the back seat out and open the trunk. Don’t give up yet on finding the build sheet. They did weird things back in the day. Try looking under the front seats. Maybe take a lighted bore scope to look under the seats so you don’t have your remove them. Also, the build sheet could be under the carpet. You never know. You might want to check for front end damage too. The code tag on the radiator support not matching the VIN or the block may be an indication they replaced the front end with a donor car and maybe swapped the 360 for a 400 while they were at it. Looking forward to more.

Awesome suggestions, and thanks for checking out the channel! Come to think of it, I do recall now folks at car meets also agreeing that the build sheet could be in a few places. I will pull out the bore scope cam and check under the front seats, carpet, and see if I can get to the headliner too. It would be stellar if I could get a hold of that sheet, because engine corrections should show up as special orders on the bottom of the sheet. Lets see how it goes! :)
