Thats right, the # in the above circled area does not match the title or vin plate on dash...the title and dash plate DO match...its ok though i have a friend that verified all vins and nothing stolen or shady...i got the whole storyg from previous owner...is it the correct thing to do, NO....but it works

heres what probably happened. someone had the 94-97 and wanted the 89-93 dash swapped it in and didnt change the vin plate.

here is the vin decoder for the miata, check it out and see what year the chassis is and compare it to the dash.
