My car has been off the road for 2 years playing games with the California Highway Patrol. They are trying to figure out who actually owns this car.

The VIN on the cowl is: 1g4gk479xfp409591
That # tells me that it is an 85 T-Type, which the car is not....

The # associated with the engine and trans is:
1g4gj117xhp456163
This # brings up an 87 GN. My car is an 87 GN. I have looked at damn near every part of this car (the body is now off the frame!) and I do not beleive that someone turned an 85 T-Type into an 87 GN.


Thanks 1000 times in advance!!
 
Here is a pic of the small metal plate that is on the cowl between the engine and the glass. Can anyone tell me what these #s mean, and if they correlate to any one of the above #s?

Picture of plate.


Thanks. ERIC.
