Guest South_paw Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 There is no VIN per say. Back then they used Engine serial numbers. This number was stamped on the block and chassis. Here you go, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlchiaretto Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 (edited) Thank you , South Paw , That was so fast , love this site ! I'm embarking on an exciting venture for an old friend . A man of means , he started a restoration project over twenty years ago . Living in MA and having this car restored in CA just didn't work out and after disassembly , quality paint job and complete engine rebuild the restore came to an abrupt halt . It has been in dry secure storage in So . CA since 1992 and working as his friend and agent will offer it for sale in the next week or two . The usual issues have to be sorted out (where the heck is that title , clean-up , and inventory of parts ) and then off to the highest bidder . Although many thousands were spent to this point and storage also amounts to nearly $40,000 for 18 years , reality prevails and someone is going to make out very , very well . I would encourage anyone interested in these particular automobiles to contact me in advance and I will work with you directly . It will be offred to the public as soon as the above mentioned details are worked out .Thank you ,Carl A .

R Walling Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have heard that the serial # was also stamped backwards on the inside of the frame and could only be read by placing a mirror thru a hole in the frame. (late 50's, early 60's.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
