	"has bucket seats with a little emblem in the top center about the size of a golf pencil?" that sounds like a MACH 1 seat.

	<F ? VIN > [ 1A30FXXXXXX ]. BODY 65C COL V AXEL 6 TRANS W DSO 22.> If this is the info on the door, I'd say there's a problem. Does the dash vin match the door and title? There are also 2 vin tags under the front fenders I'd be looking at. Then get a Marti report on the correct vin. The description you give sounds like a GT Fastback. Your description of the buckets sounds like they are not correct for the car, and based on the vin info (if correct) should be 8" rear not 9". Here's the break down on what you gave us.............. 1= 1971 A= Atlanta 30= Torino Formal Roof (30 is the sales order code) F= 302 2v v8 Body 65C= Torino Formal Roof (body code) (same as 30) Col V= Light Pewter Metallic Axle 6= 3.00 open Trans W= C4 Cruise-O-Matic DSO22= Charlotte Hope this all helps!
