Well, someone has to resurrect a 4 year old thread, it might as well be me!

I was almost giving up looking for the vin until I read this thread.

I found it on the upper bell housing attachment flange on the left side (exhaust side)on top / rear of the engine in the dipstick area.

This '70 2+2 is new to me and I'm glad the PO wasn't bs-ing that the engine is original.

It matches the data plate and the Heritage Certificate.

A pic if it helps anyone ...

CHEERS!
