[Chevelle-list] VIN numbers where are they?

[Dale]

Every state is different.  Fisher Body plates are not recognized as a legal
means of identifying or registering a vehicle.  I don't know of any
locations on a 65 body with a CON VIN but there should be one on the frame
behind the rear axle location on the driver's side top.

If you're putting together one car from two or more, your state will
probably want to issue you a state VIN.  Again, check with your DMV for
regulations in your state.

I think the sequence number would tell me enough information to try and
get a title or whatever for it. The Fisher Body plate on the firewall
isn't there. Anyone ever try and do this? Where are the hidden CON VINs?
I would like to use this body if it comes up clear. Could I use the Body
Plate from the original rusted body? Does the DMV help you out with a
transfer?
