Find the VIN stamped under the rear seat.
A resto made up of different pan and bodies?

Or...it was an imported car; often different than US spec.

That's how they were in Europe I think? Nothing special about that.
What you found may be a body swap, did you check if the pans have
facroty convertible reinforcements underneath?

i did check that at least, and yes it looks to be the factory reinforcement,
and it does not look like there has been any mod's to the swing arm pivots
to indicate a conversion,

seeing as it's street only i am not worried about the difference too much'
and if it were a baja i would have noticed right away..

i do think i'll be adding a roll bar though, just for safety sake. i just
want to be sure it's a clean install-

thanks- much-
