1970 Dart "Hidden" VIN Where's it at??

Boy how times of changed. Remember registering my vehicles with a scrap of paper.

Not to get off topic (I know now it's bad), but of course this brings up one of those humorous stories. Please be aware I am not attempting to hijack this thread, and the following contains no information as to any further locations of VIN stampings (although I have found them in above posted locations), so continuing to read this indicates your willingness to spend an extra minute or two of your time with no practical benefit.

My insurance on my legally registered car had run out at the end of February, and I had been driving my winter beater 74 Dart 4-door on the wrong plates for months. My plates had been expired for almost a week when I could finally afford to renew my insurance. Of course, being a procrastinator I waited until the last minute and left 30 minutes before the local insurance company closed. Being like 30 below, I had a little trouble starting the unplugged 318, but finally got er fired up. I grabbed my "bill of sale" and raced to the insurance company arriving with over three minutes to spare. Once inside, the helpful lady behind the counter started the process when she noticed there was no VIN# on the paper. I explained that I lived very close and could get the number quickly if she could wait. She agreed, and I ran out the front, around the corner, and wrote the VIN on the paper. Not wanting to appear that I had the unregistered car there, I lit a smoke to pass a couple of minutes before going back in. Standing next to the car watching traffic go by, I was startled by a voice asking me whether I got the number. Sure enough, she was standing outside behind the office having a smoke. We kinda laughed, finished our smokes and went in and finished off the paperwork.
