The VIN will be stamped on the engine block on the passenger side just above the oil pan.    The last six numbers should match the dashboard.

Well, it took a while, but I finally found the photo of Tony's car from 1975.  This is when Rich Meintel owned it in California.  Rich was a very early DSAC and WW member.    This is the original Q5 car with the tan interior.

Hello again....
Hope you're starting to enjoy the Daytona some... Hopefully you're not near Mexico City where the traffic is horrible. If you cruise up to Houston some time, give me a shout. Oh yeah, since the last time I replied to this thread, I've gotten my own Daytona.. 

Now I too have a Daytona like my Dad, but unlike you, not the one he owned... But, that's ok..........

Cheers,
Troy

You have gotten yourself into the best possible position of empowering yourself with the resources needed to restore the car. There are levels of restoration calibrated by finances,,,,, and of course, knowledge. Remember, one man's restored car is another man's basket-case. You could do a down-and-dirty freshening up and get her on the road. Or, you could go full out. The best bang for the buck is to restore the car as close as possible cosmetically. Believe me, regardless, you'll get the attention !!!!!  Mine is about as OEM as you can get with the exceptions of magnum 500's and Goodyear Eagle GT2's...  No matter where I go, I get the looks and attention. So, don't drive it unless you shy away from that..
