Help identifying if this car is real or fake

[littlebus]

A friend of mine found a T-Type yesterday and I need help to find out if it's real or fake. Also have any t-types come from the factory with wire hub caps? The vin is 1G4GJ47A6FP425719

the vin is an 85 (F) regal (J47), and not a limited which would be a M47
but the vin you posted is an A engine (3.8 2bbl) so its not a Ttype ,
ttype in 85 was turbo only and would be a 9 in the 8th digit of the vin

Ok so it is a fake. He got a good deal on it so I don't think he'll lose any money but I wasn't sure if it was real or a clone. Thanks

Also can you tell me if any t-types ever came from the factory with hub caps and steel rear drums? It's been a while but I thought u could order them with pretty much any options you wanted if you special ordered it.

No t types or turbo T cars came with hubcaps. They all came with 15" aluminum wheels.
