Perusing local craigslist and I came across this ad:

Look at the pic of the VIN...surely that wasn't a factory job? If so, that guy was drunk that day

Not to mention the fact that this guy is slightly out of his mind on the value of the bike me thinks....

S&G Custom Cycles has been around for a while, I think they used to work on those when new. Last I heard they still had a good rep., but I've never done business with them.

Numbers are total crap, however that doesn't mean the seller is up to anything. It was likely done a long time ago and may have valid paperwork from long ago. No collector though, just a pile of parts.
