Decoding/Numbers / Re: vin #

« on: October 27, 2008, 11:12:31 PM »

Where are you looking at these numbers? The VIN tga should be legible. If you are trying to read numbers stamped on the block, or tranny, post some photos. Some of these can be difficult to read, some of these have been restamped to make a car more valuable. There are people on this site who are good at identifing original stampings, and restamps.

There were 4 numbers found between the hood and the windshield. First was possibly a 3 or an 8, second was not legible, 3rd was a 4 and last was a 2.  The number to match was 3842. There were no other numbers anywhere on the vehicle except for the door post and firewall both of which match my title, but different from this set of four. The vehicle was seized by the police stating this was match enough to confiscate the vehicle.  I only had it about 2 months.
Any advice?

If someone were looking for a particular vin match and they found  the last 2 match and maybe the first of the last four numbers all match, could they safely assume this is the vin they are looking for?
