Never say never about vin on parts, numbers

[Roy Smalley]

Original hood; original paint with two different numbers on the hood hinge plates. The drivers side is upside down and 274.

The passenger side is 288 and correct. 61 89288 Roadster. Of course, the part is interchangeable left to right.

I wonder if 89274 is out there?

Roy,
My Speedster, 83039, has two sets of numbers on the doors, and hood, one lightly crossed out, and the 039 prominent. The decklid has only 039. Hans, and Franz must have gotten them mixed up.
