I looked, I see no trace of it. I'm not sure what you mean by outboard.. I assume you mean on the outboard side directly near the front spring hanger. I'm hoping he's happy with the vin on the door pillar. As who knows, the other might not match. That would cause more grief than I'm willing to put up with. I've had friends who got shafted on cars here in hawaii before because the guy sold the car, signed the title, but in the wrong spot. then left the island, and didn't send in the "title transfer receipt" bit. They said there was no way to get rid of the car at all. Couldnt scrap it or title it without a title. He bought a shell and swapped all the parts over then chopped it up and brought it to the recycler.
Lot of work.
Its possible the vin number is there and I can't find it, the car has a serious undercoat on it. If the guy is unhappy with the vin on the door for some reason, i have a chisel waiting to take off the undercoat in the area quickly.
I'm thinking the car may have a different engine in. Its got the push on oil breather on the fill tube, I saw pictures of another with a twist on cap style. It also has some what I assume are pollution controls missing. The tube in the intake is clamped shut and there's a plug on the side of the oil fill.
FYI the undercoat is sticking well contrary to what waxoyl salesmen will tell you., not catching water like some claim.. Where i've chipped it off (with my hammer testing for weak spots) it revealed shiny paint. And a scoping of inside the frame reveals a light patina, no flakes. and much of that patina, after my camera scrapes it, reveals paint.. its just dirt. Be nice to wash all that out of there.
