Another incorrect VIN car

No, I didn't buy this one. There's a 1965 442 convertible for sale at my local craigslist.....the VIN is 335275M291975. I was thrilled to death when I first saw the ad.....then looked up the VIN...from what I could understand, it's for a 65 f85 2 door sedan with a 6 cylinder....correct me if I'm mistaken.

The VIN is for a the 6-cyl, but you don't know where the problem is. Obviously it is not as simple as a cloned 442, but you'd have find out where the problem is to know how much of a problem is there. It could be anything from a simple mistake to a swapped VIN.

I emailed the seller and they pulled the Craigslist ad and the link above that is directly at their site has the car pulled as well. They emailed back later and said the VIN posted was incorrect and provided one that did indeed match a 65 442 convertible, but that the car was already sold.
