VIN Stamp 64 Continental

Post by bubba2246 »

Hello ,

Does somebody have an actual picture of where the vin stamp is located. I have the warranty plate and want to match the 2 up.
My car was painted before I bought it and I am wondering if paint covered the vin # stamp under the hood. Out of state inspector used the warranty plate.
I have seen where the stamp should be located but cant seem to find it. I cannot add a picture but the warranty plate info is below. I'm a little concerned with the plate since the DSO number says 23 and I cannot find this location in the manual.

Also I was told the interior is original but it is vinyl and I am reading this was not an option. Also the date says 15 L

Can somebody please provide some guidance.

Body 74A
Color G
Trim 56
Date 15L
DSO 23
Axle 1
Trans 4

I found numbers (VIN) stamped on the right front inner fender above the upper suspension arm opening on my '64 convertible, and I also have vinyl interior (trim code 88).

Ok thanks all!

Is it possible to post a picture of your stamp so I can see the location ? You can block out numbers I just need the general location! I cannot find my stamp. I wonder if it’s possible to remove it?

Thanks

I am talking about the vin stamp, right side of car under hood.

Thanks for the reference, I have the manual and see the reference guides but still can’t locate. That’s why I wanted to see it on a car. There are no actual pictures in the web just the diagram.

Thanks
