Hidden Vin #'s

Your number you're looking for on the radiator support is probably on the drivers side, and will be on the vertical part instead of the top. Look in the gap between the radiator support and radiator, towards the drivers side....if that make sense. If it matches the number you found at the rear of the car, and not the dash VIN and title.....you may end up with a state issued VIN # riveted into the drivers side door frame. You had nothing to do with the swapping (if it was) and the NCDMV Inspector will give you Brownie Points for being honest and wanting to make it right.
Thanks. The Inspector got what he needed to be satisfied it was a 1973. I will continue to look for any more #'s But I know it's a '73. I don't know why it wasn't just titled correctly way back when. I should know early this week how they'll handle the Paperwork part of it. But it will cost me some $$ to square it away. NC will want a Bond on the car which will require an appraisal. I'm guessing the real '74 is crushed in a local bone yard but who knows?
