There are a few locations on the car that the VIN number (or partial VIN) appear:
- Left Side Dash at windshield (the obvious place)
- On the engine block ID pad, behind the alternator, above the waterpump.
- Optional engine block location, next to oil filter attachment point.
- On the transmission, driver's side, above pan, toward rear
- On the rear axle, (left or right side) adjacent to carrier
- On the battery (the likelyhood that the original battery is still there is very remote)
- On the alternator, top drive end frame
- On the starter, outer case, toward rear
