Not sure they even had pop rivets in 1955 ! Smile . A genius did this.

Maybe a bit more light on the subject using my Imperial as an example, with some pics. My 55 Imperial C5510042 (see image) has engine stamp CE5510018 (see image). Both have been authenticated by FCA as correct, (see image). The VIN plate has not been over painted. The fastening shows differently. Different typography and kerning of the type is different. Depth of the VIN plate and stamping methods are different. I have been advised that the engines were built up to a month before they went in the cars and so again advised that the engine number stamping is a number lower than the VIN plate for the car. That’s how mine lines up. I would concur that the VIN plate in question (see image) looks like a do-over. If this helps, great. Mark.

VIN is advertised and photographed as 3N55 2517. Club registry has that VIN as a Barrett-Jackson black car. A photo shows the engine S/N to be 3NE55 2517. Precisely identical VIN & Engine S/N numbers are highly unlikely with VIN typically less than engine S/N. VIN tag is painted over as per photo and has the appearance of being a reproduction as the originals had all raised numbers and letters, as is the one on this car—but in an entirely different format. Estimated VIN would be: 3N55 2460-2500. There are many Platinum C-300’s in our registry in that range. Missing our white C-300 and hoping it finds a new owner to give it a good home. https://www.volocars.com/auto-sales/vehicles?q%5Byear_eq%5D=1955 VIN: 3N551198, engine 3NE551098. I said “typically”.

"Having been in continuous possession of at least one air cooled Porsche for many years and having owned one very high quality Speedster replica I will offer three words as explanation for what seems to many to be the exorbitant and irrational prices paid for these Speedsters. Romance. Passion. Mystique. I have tested the ownership waters through my time spent living with a replica. These cars draw universal attention, attracting people of all walks of life, age and gender. Like all air cooled…"
