This 1972 Thunderbird was the subject of a court case: In January of 1975 plaintiff was in possession of a 1972 Ford Thunderbird automobile registered to him in the state of Florida. According to his testimony, he had purchased this vehicle in August 1972 as a recovered theft which had extensive fire damage as a result of vandalism. He detailed the restoration work he did on the car, including replacement of the entire body of the car. The automobile, as registered to plaintiff, bore vehicle identification number (VIN) 2Y87N129716 in three places; in an additional two locations where standard 1972 Ford products were to have hidden VINs, no such numbers appeared. The Rhode Island State Police impounded this vehicle in the first week of February 1975. They claimed the car was not correctly identified by the VIN under which it was registered to plaintiff, but was actually another 1972 T-Bird which had been stolen from Natick Auto Sales, Inc. (Natick) and never recovered. The correct VIN of the vehicle, according to the state police, was 2Y87N107953.
