Eric, I looked there on my 62, I didn't see anything, must be the paint. So give us a clue to the number of characters we're looking for. The St of Ct "assigned" me a vin number. 2 plus the chassis number. The previous vin from California, where it was first registered, was 62 plus that chassis number, which tells me that either that is the number I'm looking for or it was made up a long time ago. I have the California title and that's what it says. I could not get the inspector here to use the same number.
