Secondary VIN locations 1970

[richardgoesfast]

Gentlemen-
There is a VIN on my dashboard up by windshield and also on fender tag.
I don't see a stamped VIN on radiator supports anywhere, and on the trunk lip driver side there is a 5 digit number stamped from below pic attached.
Are there any other locations on car? Want to make absolutely sure this is a real RR.

Sound's like those part's have been replaced. My trunk gutters have no number's on them. I kept the old ones and might cut the numbers of and double sided tape them to my gutter's. Possible the radiator support had to be replaced. If you have the vin on the dash and the fender tag matches then it is a runner.

Thanks. Yeah, I considered the possibility that the radiator might have been replaced. Don't see any signs of it, but I'm no expert on that sort of thing. Interesting to know that your trunk gutters don't have numbers either.

Mine has a part # stamped in the low part of the trunk but under the trunk seal is the VIN

That is a fact if you look under the edge of the trunk gutter their was a number on both of my old ones. Their where number's stamped through out this car I found when working on it.

I found #s through out my tear down, they were on the trunk gutter the radiator support the dash and fenders , and the doors under the door panels. I kept the old gutter parts with the #s on them just in case I wanted to stamp the new ones.

Radiator support is stamped upside down

Interesting 69hemibeep I see from photo of your gutter that the VIN is literally under the seal itself, and right above that 5 digit thing that I also have. I'm going to crawl in trunk or pull away the seal and see if I've got the VIN in same location. Also interesting how many places throughout your car the VIN is stamped.

After looking at your photo of radiator support I gave it another hard look and found the VIN stamped just as you stated. Interestingly, the first 2 letters are reversed from the fender tag VIN and dash VIN. Instead of OA it is AO. Not sure if someone had a bad day on the line, or this is a problem.
