    Thanks for confirming.

    I think the photographer used a low-saturation edit so it appears dark red but its just red.

    Unless you mean another color?

    Actually resident in Panama, or just registered there?

    Long time ago (1985) it was registered in Panama.
    I took this pic in August 1986.

    Joe, the way that photo came out, it looks like there is some kind of crazy led strobe bulb in there or something!

    I thought so too, perhaps because it was shot in the dark, but it has a standard bulb in place.

    Looks to be a French-spec GTO with yellow Carello driving lamps, resident I believe in Japan.

    From what I understand, this practice happened in the 1980s and only affected cars that were delivered to Japan as new cars, for example, the famed Matsuda GTO 55237 (below).

    I think the yellow-lamped car was originally delivered to France.

    The bigger question I have is, how does Classiche address this VIN stamp alteration issue?

    That's a question for a whole other thread. Best we not open that Pandora's Box here. ;)
