You might be entering the incorrect numbers to gain identification. Remember that VL's have been modified for years, so a full respray would eliminate evidence that a paint job was done in the first instance. pressumably your talking about a VLT, the lack of any significant "special" model variants eliminate the obvious in your situation and assuming you have checked for normal identification on the car, (HDT ect.) There could be a million senarios as to why the car has ended up in your hands with you scratching your head wondering what it is. remember VL's have been around the block a few times now..... Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
