OK. Prove me wrong please!
By Royce Peterson - 08/21/2005 11:18:50 AM; IP 66.161.208.28
I am an educated hobbyist. "Expert" covers a lot of ground. Right now I owns two 1968 W code 427 Cougars. If you know anyone with more W code knowledge I would like to meet him or her.

Kevin Marti owns all the records for every VIN. If he says there were no cars produced with a W engine code in 1968 except the 357 Mercury Cougar GT-E's then I have to believe him.

Blank reproduction data plates and VIN plates have been available for 20 years. The door plate shown is not an original one and the font is unlike the original font. Same goes for the windshield data plate. The parts like the rear axle and transmission likely have wrong date codes etc too. If the car, me and you were all in the same location I would be happy to educate you on all the reasons it is obviously a poor attempt at fakery.

Kevin can tell you the original engine code that came with that VIN for $25. I can guarantee it was not a W.
