I found mine on my '69 on the driver side about where the door is.

The frame VIN number, or VIN derivative, is usually stamped on top of the frame so unless you have the body off the car, you won't see it.


I went round and round on this with an inspector with the Washington State Patrol as he was insistent that I show him the VIN stamped on the frame. Fortunately, there was another officer in the building who owned a '70 4-4-2 that saw what was going on and he came out and corrected the inspector. Otherwise, the inspector was not going to let me pass!

If you could add photos for future seekers that would be great.

Overall, about where it is, pointed at... and

close shot of the exact thing.


If you get a chance

add to other thread perhaps?
