Scott-I was thinking you needed this VIN for your records. This Coupe looks like a real deal for a prospective buyer. It's interesting to see a USA car bought in Italy,and then having all of that work done when it returned with the Italian front plate and corner lights. It even has the 1973 US bumpers and roof mounted seat belts.

When exporting from Italy they keep the plates, maybe these were added later in the US.

i'm sure it was a USA car bought in Europe, driven around so it could then be shipped to the USA with no issue. BMW used to do things like that.
