VIN Numbers

[detmatt]

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! Nice looking car, I'd go to some great lengths to get the title issue straightened out. Keep us in the loop.

The VIN tag on a 67 should be on the door jam between the hinges.

If the car was sold as scrap then there should be a record of the seller in the yards office, it's a law I think. If you can find out who scrapped it then you may have a chance of finding the tags or even the paperwork for the car.

That comes from experience, I once had to tell someone they were not missing the tag on their 67 Barracuda. He assumed that all 67-69 Barracudas would be the same and the 68 he had the tag was on the dash.

That's a nice looking car. I hope you are successful with the DMV or whatever they are called where you are at

I was able to get the car before it got to the salvage yard it was abandoned and no paper work with it

 

[polara71]

Damn you have all the wrong answers

Where was it abandoned ?

 

[bigred]

In a garage under a rental house in Atlanta Ga

At least it now has a chance. Follow Patricks advice and see where that gets you...keep us updated please

Does anyone have a rusty 67 Chrysler newport Conv that has all tags, and title present?? That could be another option.....

 

[bluefury361]

I think I'd find a way to save a car as nice as this one, Maybe locate a rusted or damaged hulk, buy it and rob the tags from it..... Kind of like a rebody.

That's a great idea....

Help needed, I saved a 1967 Newport Convertible from the crusher last week, it had been painted a couple years back and the VIN plates both door pillar and under hood plate were taken off the car and not reinstalled. .

This may sound silly, but have you done a through check in the car to see if the tags are there someplace.....? Glovebox, under seat, trunk.

 

[polara71]

I like the idea of hunting down a build sheet or certicard as mentioned earlier....

You can search some of the insurance salvage company's for storm damaged cars also. Some nice deals have appeared after major storms. Here is a link to one such company, but there are others.

I'd be VERY careful about the "re-body" idea. Just sayin'...

 

[commando1]

Yah. Ask Boyd Coddington about that.
Oh wait. You can't...

There should be a vin number on the dash viewable thru the windshield on driver side I believe. I have to look at my 68.

This was not the case in 67 AFAIK.
