Today an investigator for the dmv,discovered a door tag under the door tag whose numbers matched the numbers on the engine strut and under fender. I bought a Falcon that was sold and titled as a 61, when in reality the real vin numbers say it's a 62. It has the grill, hood, fenders and front bumper of a 1961, but the trim, and tail lights are 1962.The investigator is checking to see if it's stolen and whatever other info he can get on it. My question is this; It was made on july 30, 1961. Does anyone know if it's possible that the assembly plant would have used parts (grill, fenders etc..) of a 61 on an early 62 model?? The engine mounts are also 1961, because it was made prior to April 1962. The mystery just keeps getting deeper LOL.
