Thanks guys, I located the vin on the passenger side of the dash.For some reason I thought it was on the driver side.Well I found it,and as I took off the dash cover I also noticed some areas that had its original color , (Highland Green).
I had to go through the VIN verification process when I registered my last CS because the tag was on the passenger side instead of drivers side. I called Mike "somethingspecial" who brought in proof that '68 was the only year they did that, plus photos of all my other '68s w/ tags on the passenger side. Our DMV (and probably others) believe the VIN is always on the drivers side. They may indeed give you grief unless you have documented proof...
I am about to register an out of state CS into California. I have a signed title (from Texas). How do I go about obtaining some proof that the VIN belongs on the right side. Thanks - Doug
Thanks - it has both the door tag and passenger window tag that match. I also belong to AAA. -- Doug
Just curious about the process in other states.
I've seen a number of threads over the last few months where people are talking about getting their cars "inspected" by DMV and other state officials.
Does the DMV in other states actually look at ("inspect") the actual car?
In NY, for registration purposes, whatever I put on the form is what they take. I don't even need the car with me. At the safety inspections the service station enters the VIN into a computer that is linked to the DMV system.
NY doesn't have state run inspection stations, here you can go to pretty much any repair shop, quick change oil lube type place, tire center, etc ... as long as they have a license to do state inspections.
The inspections we're refering to have only to do with proper VIN ID when bringing a car in from out of state. There are no safety inspections that I'm aware of re; DMV. If the car already has a California plate, then they do as you say here too Rich
I am looking at 2 CS's and on both there no data on the driver side inner fender area? Was it common for Cali Specials to not have the apron stamped with the VIN?
