Re: Strange Body VIN Stamping on 1970 Mustang on E-Bay

"Strange" is that they are mistake ones (Ford got a digit wrong the 1 instead of an O) but I've seen a fair number of these.

Not as familar with New Jersey cars as with the others so shorted "hidden" VINs is the norm in the 1971 - up Mustangs

Don't have my books here so I'm unsure if this is a very late car

Interersting 428 1970 Mustang project car on E-Bay. It has a very strange VIN stamping on the inner fenders. It is auction # 4533214332. Has anybody seen partial Mustang VIN numbers stamped like this before?

Has anyone on the list seen a '70 Mustang with NO v.i.n.# on the shock
towers? I recently worked on one, and through some research, I found that
there were a few cars built, that did not get stamped. This was a Dearborn
car, built in May of '70. I wonder if there were any other "hidden"
v.i.n.#'s on these cars. Goes to show you that anything could happen.

Ken,

If the inner fender was rusted and someone replaced it with repro sheet
metal, it would not have the numbers.
It would take alot of effort to cut theVIN out of the original inner fender
and butt-weld it into the new inner fender.

John; The Boss that I worked on, had never had any panel replacement, and
my research was supported by actual experiences from some of the members
posting on the Boss 302 forum, www.boss302.com In addition, all of the date
code stampings matched the rest of the car. Strange but true.
