VIN

[frogallen]

Looking at a 95 V8 car today. Want to be thorough.
Where are all the locations for the VIN?
I know dash and door tag. Anyplace else?
I've heard peeps say "frame". But in all my tear-a-parts, I have never seen a VIN on a firewall, under a fender, or etc.

This is rbrown from all the other forums btw.

I've seen it on the fenders (lip under the hood), inside of the bumper covers, underside of the trunk lid. There are probably more.

There is a metal plate on the upper frame rails behind the fenders that has the last 6 or 8 digits of the VIN stamped in it. That is the only place I know of that it is etched into the body, but you won’t be able to see it without removing the front wheelhouse liners and looking with a magnet.

There are 5 locations, iirc. Core tag, dash, door tag, Firewall, and there's one in the trans tunnel, under and between two sheets of sheetmetal. You have to cut a window to see it. Federal regulations require an inaccessible one.

It's also on the decals installed on the bumper covers, fenders, trunk lid, etc.

Well I guess I’ve been missing them.
Heinh that this is a mashup of parts I guess the one hidden in that trans tunnel is the key one to check.
Thanks guys.

It's well hidden, from what I've heard. If you know a friendly fbi agent he might tell you where it is exactly.

It’s near the POL_PLG jumper to disable the speed limiter, from what I heard
