Original Vin?

[FLG]

Hey guys/gals,

Quick question. I have a 73 charger and the car was issued a NY State VIN because it was stolen, and recovered with the VIN plate ripped out. It has passed through a few owners before coming to me (were its gonna stay  ). Now, im curious to see if i can somehow find out the true VIN number. I have not looked for a built sheet under the rear seat yet, which i think is my only way of finding out the VIN. Or maybe somehow get a partial VIN and see if its on some registry somewhere. Any ideas?

Is the fender tag missing too?

Not sure where the VIN stampings would be on a 73 but you can try the engine block, trans and maybe the rad support for at least the last 8 digits of the VIN

Were there driver door Vin# stickers on the '73 models?

Yep have the fender tag. Engine and trans have been replaced. Where on the rad support? Dont think they had stickers in 73, just on the dash.

It would be on the fender tag

Is it the numbers in the lower right hand corner on the fender tag?

That should be it.

Vin# is 13 character sequence starting with W.

Yours should start with WP29M3 if its a 2bbl 400 or WP29H3 if its a 4bbl 400.

Got the vin, now guess ill just see if the plate or the vin every pops up somewhere. Bordin, its originally a 318 car that someone swapped a 400 into sometime in its life. Its going to be a stroker when im done with it and more importantly have a nice warm garage to spend the rest of its life in

Amazing how attached we get to our cars.

Then it will be WP29G3. Nice car post up some pictures.
