<VV> Decoding a 63 vin number

[Frank DuVal]

And the easiest way to tell a real 62/63 Spyder is how good the exhaust 
opening is. It should look like it was stamped out at the factory, not 
cut out with snips, etc. There should be a good folded lip.

Of course a good replicar maker could weld in a factory Spyder cutout 
onto another body, buyer beware....
