Burpin I truly hope this is the real deal ! I know your are aware of what to look for but in the height of excitment just remember, It may be a hemi but not orginal, the main thing is that the vin, block, and fender tag match in those numbers. Legally a vin cannot be altered, but fender replacements along with the fender tag is not uncommon. Although it is unlikely that someone who had a hemi fender with tag would sell it to be placed so to speak on a 318 car, which then had a Hemi dropped in, not an orignal of course but a clone, but a clone can only be a clone if one was made to begin with, right? So the question is, did they make a 1972 Hemi Cuda? Ah, back to square one. And now that I have even more confused you............sincerely, best of luck my Mopar friend ! :thumbs: :thumbs: -Jim
