Was your car imported originally?
Is there an import marking on the fender tag?
If it was imported in the far past, did they leave the fender tag?
Did they change the vin tag? Or leave it.

What is the fender tag readout?

Your post inspired me to post a photo of a '70 Panther Pink T/A that I ran into in Kuwait recently. Glad to see that there are Mopar fans in the Middle East!
