Title: Where to begin - VIN/SERIAL help
Post by: Voyager_1700 on May 18, 2023, 10:47:09 AM
Hi all.. New here - I'll try to keep this short but provide as much detail as possible..
I recently purchased a 1934 Plymouth PE Deluxe Coupe (from an acquaintance in NJ) the NJ title used the engine serial number. The car was modified probably 20 (+/-) years ago .. chopped/channeled and shaved..  custom interior, dash, gauges..  It's a got a Chevy 327, TH 350 trans and Ford 9" rear so not much left original al thought it is a steel body.
I'm working on getting it titled in NC and everyone is telling me it's gonna be a long and crazy ride..
I didn't see any tags on the door pillars.. I haven't started looking on the frame.. Can anyone help in telling me first - what the VIN on this car SHOULD be from the Engine Serial number ?
And second I read a post about the VIN being stamped (or tagged) on the frame on the front left corner (DS) but with the car being channeled - I doubt I'll be able to find that one.. Any other advise would be greatly appreciated as I will have to work with the law enforcement with the VIN for titling.

On my '33 Plymouth the original engine number is stamped on the outside of the frame rail on the driver's side between the running board brackets. Pretty faint. I never even noticed them when I refurbished the frame but only found them years later when someone asked if they were there.

Maybe the '34 Plymouth had it in the same location.
