Another stupid VIN number request
Hello, all. I asked you guys for help with the 65 Mustang convertible a
long time back, and you came through. I know you get sick of these requests, but this one's for another antique, and if we can make sure it's legal, I get to drive it this summer to work, which Hagerty gets all twitchy about with the convertible (well, you know, someone might just breathe on it or something...). Anyway, we picked up a 1968 Torino which has seen better days, but it's pretty solid and we want to make sure we haven't been suckered. Well, I do, anyway. It's a cool car and looks fast sitting still. So, it's still got Missouri plates JBH-067 that expired in 1985, and the VIN is 8K42F182641. So, since it's less than 17 characters, it throws all the computer programs into a hissy. Anyway, hi, I'm kat, and I'll be in the faded blue Torino running through Rhinelander, WI this summer. Anywhoots, thanks in advance kat >^.^< in Rhinelander Home of the Hodag |

Thank you, Brent and Walt. That describes it to a T.
With Missouri license plates, it sounds like this fellow never got far from the farm until after it was retired! Y'all have a nice day now- kat >^.^< in Rhinelander |

You ain't kidding.
And we'll get the Goldwing and Shadow out of storage as soon as there's a good rain to clean the salt and sand off of the roads. Vroom! >^.^< Wisconsin summers are waaaayyyy too short |

Decisions, decisions.
Let your errand list be your guide. Groceries? You have to have a pretty big set of saddle bags... kat >^.^< wishwashious vehiculous drivicus domesticus (wishywashy everyday kind of driver) |
